Great suggestion, Larken. I'll probably take a look around to see if I can find something. When I opened the switches on my ErgoDox I just used two screwdrivers but it was kind of a pain and not as efficient as I had hoped.

If you ever decide to have a 2nd round, I would definitely be in.

Also, would you consider making plates for the KBT Race? (It feels too light after using the Filco :P)

Just to let you know : they aren't to be used with that Ducky you just bought. They only work if you have a custom plate which allows you to remove the top half of the switch while it's still soldered.

I would be willing to bet that they would still work fantastic on unmounted switches as well

I may be wrong but they seem like they would be a pain to use when the switch is unmounted. It's easy to remove the top of an unmounted switch with just a screwdriver anyway. The same can't be said for a mounted one.

There has been a round #1 already? It would be nice if there was a "[ORDER]" thread with a title that indicates that. This thread is still marked "[IC]",
