Wuque Titanium Switch Puller for Mechanical Keyboard Switches Black

nice to use and looks nice on the desk too

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.

beats any other switch puller Ive ever used in every category

Cool color, seemingly sturdy, springy, works super well without damaging any of the switches Ive taken out of various boards. The narrow head allows you to get into tight spaces which is super useful for custom built boards that arent your standard layout. Totally recommended for any DIY custom keyboard enthusiast.

Yes! This titanium anodized key puller is indeed beautiful. Being made of titanium, its very light and incredibly strong. Having much experience with titanium, I can verify it is in fact titanium or a high percentage titanium alloy. When you tap the tines . . . it rings like a tuning fork. Very pleasing. As a key-cap puller it works great. You depress the key next to the one you want pull, slide the tool around the key with the inward pointing hooks catching the bottom of the key, and you pull straight up. Easy-peasy. Works great, super durable, beautiful, and makes a lovely tone . . . what more could you ask for in a key puller? Five Stars for Inspiring Wonder with such a simple tool.

This thing is great! Lightweight and easier to use than steel models. The loop at the to helps with control, too, when youre pulling a stubborn switch. Overall, a really great tool. I wish I would have gotten this one first and avoided the others!

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.

Folks with a lot of keyboard stuff dont really NEED a new switch puller (I have like 10 of them) but having a shiny thing that works a bit better than all the other things you already have have is kind of like a central tenant of mechanical keyboards. Easy to use, fits in my hand and all that. But like I said, primarily its shiny, pretty, and not entirely necessary - but like, in a good way.

Well made and works better than the traditional IC pullers

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