Do those pullers actually work as a keychain? As in W/o breaking them or getting caught on stuff?

Hmm.. I've never actually used it as a keychain so I wouldn't know...  sorry.

What do you think? Does it fit in a jean pocket? I would know less than you would :D

Heh, it'll fit in a jean pocket but it seems so fragile so I wouldn't recommend doing that.  :)

The best keypullers are the plastic ones with the ring.  More ergonomic and much much faster than using those wire ones.

Wires are faster if you do it right. You don't even have to pop them out, sometimes they pop out by them self if you get it in the sweet spot.

I recommend using it as a fancy earring.

Necklace?


If only there could be a wirepuller keychain that is durable enough to be used as a keychain...
Some people have boxcutters or flashlights, I have a wirepuller ><. Maybe there could be a case/sleeve made or a wirepuller switchblade? hehe.

More full set key cap changes on my Filco than I can remember and I've done it all with my little ghetto paperclip keypuller :))

My signature hasn't changed since 2012. I should really update it.

Shouldn't it be called the ZoDZoidberg of Disapproval ?

They both look great to me, but I do prefer the dyesub one if I had to pick favorites.

It has been part of the Round X group buys, most recently in Round 4, where it was named ROUND3-style as it was the same as the one before it.

Actually, it is not ironic.  You can operate Windows 8 with only keyboard, only mouse, or or touch.

If you keep at it I'm sure you'll come out with at least a few nice ones without flaws :) I currently have a box of about 50 rejected dipped caps with flaws like that, but it's really rewarding when one comes out perfect.

I use Win-M occasionally - minimise all windows.  What is the difference between Win-M and Win-D?  Does Win-D minimise the gadgets too?
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

Win-D brings up the desktop, Win-M minimizes everything. I'm not really sure what the difference is though.

Right now I've only got some xhatched key caps from WASD. Hoping to have something nice to post here in a month or so. :)

My future Das Ultimate S, all modded up. For now, it's a bit more black.

It seems that Win-D will show the desktop and, if pressed again, will restore the windows to the way they were.  Win-M just minimises everything, and you have to restore each window individually.

And now back to your usual program ...

All this blue kinda makes me wish I had gotten a keyboard with blue LEDs to start with.  Maybe next time ... or maybe the time after that if I get yellow LEDs next ...

Got these from Keypop. They look great, looking to place a larger order once they release a new set. :)
