Wuque Titanium Switch Puller for Mechanical Keyboard Switches Black

This Tool makes it much easier to change out keytops on keyboards. We has been using the plastic type but that became hit or miss. When the keytop finally came off it may just pop across the room. This grabs the keytop and firmly holds it after it is removed. For anyone who is constantly changing keytops on keyboards to customize them this is a very necessary addition to your tool box.

I bought one of these because I had been dealing with an E-Yooso keyboard with Outemu switches that were very tough to get out. Quite possibly the most frustrated Ive been when doing mechanical keyboard stuff. I wound up bending two IC extractors to the point that they were next to useless on that keyboard. Fortunately, I was able to get one of these Wuque ones pretty quickly. Holy cow what a difference! The puller tips that grip the switches do not bend at all. The thin tips also allow you to get to switches that might be positioned in a tight spot where theres little room to operate. I cannot recommend this thing enough, especially if youre working on keyboards where the switches are an absolute pain to remove.

This switch puller is my new favorite. Its slim enough to get switches out when I still have keycaps on the surrounding keys, but its also really easy to grip. The other switch pullers I have are either too bulky, too fiddly, or dont get a good grip, but this one doesnt have those problems. The prism color for this switch puller looks super good, and the colors are exactly like in the photo.

Im a sucker for anything made of Titanium, but for a reason... How much did you spend on your fancy mech keyboard? And you think the included - FREE switch puller is great...? Just buy this....

Huge upgrade over every other switch puller Ive used. This thing makes quick work of swapping out the switches on your keeb. Edges are smooth and polished, while the overall shape is completely ergonomically sound. Huuuuuge difference, huge. Worth the money.

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.

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.

The colors are great, the titanium is fantastic for the job (doesnt bend and stay in place like other pullers). I really like the shape as well, gets in those really tight spaces that some other pullers cant get into. Overall great, no complaints.

nice to use and looks nice on the desk too

Ive tried a number of switch pullers, usually the ones that come with your keyboard, but this one is next level. My main issue with other pullers is that they didnt always work with some keyboard top plates, but this one had no issues with this! It looks amazing in this multi color and its really sturdy. I dont expect Ill need another switch puller ever again, unless I lose this one. I definitely recommend it
