Every switch is different. Orihalcon sells Alps pullers.

edit - I don't use MX style switches and don't really know much about them

"It turns out that for a decade, whenever Trump wanted to get a loan, or make a deal, he would inflate the value of his real estate. For instance, suggesting that his 11,000-square foot penthouse was a 30,000-square foot penthouse.
And the attorney general of New York knew that Trump's property values were inflated because when it came time to pay taxes, Trump undervalued the very same properties.
It was all part of a very sophisticated real estate practice known as “lying.”

The linked thread is AFAIK more about keycap pullers I mean a keyswitch puller, for a Cherry MX compatible switches.

The Rama one works well but pretty much search MX style switch puller on Amazon - Also check Kinetic Labs, Novel Keys and any other board part retailer/e-tailer for them.
