Using this Cherry MX 4 - Key Mechanical Switch Tester is super easy. Just press each key one by one to feel the different types of switches - clicky, tactile, and linear. This will help you decide which type you like best for your custom keyboard. When handling the tester, be gentle with the keys. Don't apply excessive force as it might damage the switches. Also, keep it away from water and extreme temperatures. To maintain the tester, you can use a dry, soft cloth to wipe it clean every now and then. If it gets dirty, you can lightly dampen the cloth with water (make sure it's not too wet) and gently clean the surface. This will keep your tester in good condition for a long time.
