Wuque Titanium Switch Puller for Mechanical Keyboard Switches Black

If you have a board with hotswap key switches, get this. Ive got another switch puller … you maybe know the one: Its got a wire keycap puller on one side and a switch puller on the other. The thing is, to pull a switch, you really need to press in the locking tabs, and a stamped piece of metal is just going to bend inward at the point you squeeze it, meaning the tips arent going to push those tabs enough and the key just wont come out! I cant say that this product pulls the key first time every time without conscious effort … but I can say it takes minimal effort. Line it up, give it a squeeze, and wiggle. About four out of five times the switch comes out just like that. Maybe more than that. With the other switch puller, not so much. If it doesnt, reposition and try again and … yeah I have yet to fail to remove a switch on the second attempt. Im glad Ive got mine, and Im not lending it out because I dont want it to not find its way back to me. Im hard on switches and none of them at any price point last forever in my hands. This is mine. You should get one yourself if you need it, but you cant have this one, its mine.

This is the best switch puller Ive used by far. It pulls out stubborn switches much easier than the cheap ones Ive tried.

A very pretty switch puller made from titanium, so its really durable. If youre new to keyboards like me then you should take note that this isnt for changing out keycaps, its for pulling the switches that are underneath the keycaps. I love the rainbow/prism look to this tool; it looks even better in person.

How much are you willing to pay for a switch puller? It seems like a silly question since switch pullers are usually fairly inexpensive. But consider this: Do you ever need to swap out switch pullers because the one you like most doesn’t fit into tight spaces? Do you ever feel like your secondary switch puller for those tight spaces isn’t as awesome as your usual switch puller? Do you ever wish you only ever needed just one switch puller for the keyboard you’re working on? If you answered “yes” to one or more of those questions, you should consider buying this switch puller. I used to primarily use the yellow one in the picture. It’s an off-brand of the Glorious switch puller and identical. It works very well, but it struggles with switches that are too close to the keyboard wall. Then, I would have to switch to the combo switch/keycap puller, which would work, but the metal is too bendy and I find the tips are too narrow. After trying this titanium switch puller, it’s now my go-to switch puller. The gap is just a little wider than a mechanical switch, so it doesn’t need to be compressed a ton, which is good because titanium general doesn’t like bending much. I find the tips are wide enough that I don’t need to try to get perfectly centered on the latches on the switch in order to pull them. The jimping helps to maintain a good grip while pulling switches. And lastly, it’s also a beautiful piece of titanium art. No, your switch puller doesn’t need to be pretty, but why not? I recently used this switch puller to pull all 87 switches from a TKL keyboard, as well as one-off switches here and there to check pulling switches in tight spaces. There were zero issues and zero struggles. I didn’t have any discomfort, but if that’s an issue for you, then you could always wrap a bit of CoBan self-adhesive bandage, or something of the sort onto the puller to help pad it. I’m convinced that I won’t ever need a different switch puller. Of the switch pullers I’ve used, this one is without a doubt the best. I’ve searched Amazon and I’ve yet to find switch puller anything like this one. Yes, it costs almost twice as much as what the yellow one goes for, but it negates the need for two different switch pullers anyway. So, if you don’t have a GOOD switch puller yet, it’s really worth strongly considering this one.

I have had multiple switch pullers over the years. Ones that come in with a keyboard or some other cheap one to get me by, and every one of them deflects under pressure/ load, and you struggle to remove a switch from the plate. Titanium does not like to flex, do not try to use these as a pair of tweezers, or you may damage or break the tool. It is amazing on switch removal. The base of the tool fits just about the exact width of the release tabs on the switch. Just use light pressure and gently pull straight up, and the switch is out. Simple, yet just about life changing. LOL The arms of the tool are thin enough to get into tight areas near case edges. If you have a keyboard with hot swappable switches and want a reliable tool that will work every single time you need replace a defective switch or want to try out a different style or brand of switches. This little thing is just what you need! I do not think Ill ever have a need for a different one. This thing WORKS! BUY IT!

I really believe that everyone needs a good switch puller so you dont accidentally damage your switches. This makes sure you precisely take a switch out even from the most stubborn of PCBS or Plates!

Youve all used that silly aluminum puller you get as a throw-in with switch sets. Using an actual tool with some fine tips makes a big difference in terms of comfort, control, and confidence when moving quickly through your board. When you run into those tough-to-remove switches, those aluminum pullers always bend. Ive got a spring steel version that works a bit better, but its difficult to apply pressure to the tip. Titanium makes this pull stiff in a way that makes it easy to apply pressure at the point -- it just works better. My only issue is the tips are a bit rounded which makes them slip a bit -- Id like to see them have more of an angle on the edge so it grips and transfers full pressure when needed. But still, the best manual puller Ive used by far.

Well made and works better than the traditional IC pullers

Having never seen this particular design before, I was interested. To my surprise, it actually arrived looking exactly like the image; namely the smooth gradient of the anodize finish. Usually thats the first place where these brands cheap out: inconsistency with the finish. Typically with titanium anodize (which is basically just discoloration of the titanium oxide on the surface), you might get some color shifting, but at least one side is all one color because the manufacturer needs to find the fastest and cheapest way possible to reproduce the finish. Maybe I got lucky. In terms of functionality, it works great. Most of the cheap keyswitch pullers are a bent piece of metal that you have to force quite a ways down to grip the switch tabs, but this is only about 1/8 wider than the switch itself. Shown in the second image, Im doing my best to show the size compared to the switch tab locations. This makes it a breeze to grip and pull switches and requires noticeably less effort. Honestly, the only improvement I can think would be to make it wider (obviously the tips the same width). Just to make it more comfortable in the long term. I did switch swaps on two boards and didnt necessarily find it uncomfortable, but Im sure it would be after a while.

Works amazing!!!
