BS keycaps might need a little more force, so the plastic ring design would probably be better. They’re a few cents or bucks.

I'll only add on to the plastic ring style ones in that they're sometimes better for oddly-shaped or long caps, like modifiers. The wire ones are better in every way for every other application. They can be kind of awkward for stabilized modifier keys.

You can make your own, of course.

The copper one is my favorite, I used the center wire from an old cable TV cable. (The "handle" is Hot Glue, in case you were about to ask.)

You stripped coaxial cable, twisted it, and hot glued a handle? Nice idea. The uses of hot glue have no bounds.

Let me guess on the other one:

Coat hanger, with vinyl tube for the handle?
