Wuque Titanium Switch Puller for Mechanical Keyboard Switches Black

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 tips of these are perfectly sized to not require too much space between switches. The handles (where you grip the puller) have the same problem (for me) that others have. Theyre too thing and slip easily. If they had a wider finger / thumb rest, these would be phenomenal (again, for me)

There isnt much to a switch puller. It only need to have a few traits to be perfect. This ones is really nice. The material is strong and the arms are thin enough to bend the arms. This will not break through normal usage. The arms return to form consistently. All the edges are rounded. This especially true for the part that touches the switch. See close up photo. Most importantly the width and and switch hooks are the right size and angle for easy pulls. This doesnt matter as much, but the puller is super pretty. 5 stars without hesitation.

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.

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.

I 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.

nice to use and looks nice on the desk too

I hate that I was so excited for this to come! I took it out of of the package in anticipation of getting the job done... only for these to bend out of shape before I could even pull the first switch. Now I have to try to find another switch puller and spend even more money. End of the day, its gonna be a no for me dawg.

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.

If 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.
