> 24 hourIf 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.

> 24 hourThis is a misleading photo. This thing is microscopicly tiny. I broke several switches trying to remove them. You need to be a damn bodybuilder to remove switches with this, if the switch doesnt break first. The tool would often slip off of the switches. The prongs barely grap the ends and they are extremely thin. Buy a different, better, cheaper switch puller.

> 24 hourI probably change my keycaps and clean my keyboards a bit too regularly. Even so this has been a nice puller to have around. I just keep it in my little pen cup right on my desk and I dont have to go digging through a million keyboard/keycap set boxes looking for the usual cheap plastic puller when I need it.

> 24 hourThis is the best switch puller Ive used by far. It pulls out stubborn switches much easier than the cheap ones Ive tried.

> 24 hourIf you need a switch puller for your keyboard, this is the one. Way better than the old school IC chip puller pretending to be made for this task. I also have bought the Gateron one, which looks cool but is hella scary if the plate finish is important to you. The tips on this puller are thin and sturdy enough to remove any switch from your board, very steadily. It is also very fast to use because you can get a sure grip rather quickly. It is light in the hand, but sturdy in use. If you don’t abuse it, it will likely disappear before it breaks. The only thing I don’t love is the price. The titanium “name” comes with a premium markup… but I guess it’s better than what those Gateron pullers are going for nowadays. Geez. I may pick up another as a backup, but for the price of two lunches… definite hard pause.

> 24 hourHow 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.

> 24 hourI had to replace some keys on my keyboard, and thought this keypuller was the most aesthetically pleasing one available. Not only is it pretty, but its also really useful! the longer tongs make it easier to wiggle around the keys and get a good grip on them, and overall i love it
