There is also this 3x3 one on Amazon, it works fine: https://www.amazon.com/Cherry-Switch-Tester-keyboard-Sampler...
Comes with "9 Different Cherry MX Switches: Cherry MX Red(1), MX Black(1), MX Blue(1), MX Brown(1), MX Green(1), MX Gray-brown(1), MX Gray-black(1), MX Clear(1), MX White(1)".
For those of you (like me) who want to personally press keys to test the feel of the different Cherry switch colors before committing to one and spending hundreds, these are very helpful:

If you're unsure of the switches you want, I would recommend grabbing a switch tester[1]. They don't give the exact experience of typing, but they are very useful if you have no frame of reference for what the different switches actually feel like. I know buying one gave me the confidence to take the plunge into a full mechanical keyboard.
