I'd be in for one, also something like this http://www.gonskeyboardworks.com/others/135-cherry-switch-puller.html would be very handy.  Pulling switches off a plate is PITA.

Hello!  What about this ?  two sticks with flatten works nice, no scratching the plate.

Yeah I already use a flat head screwdriver to do this but it's messy when all the switches are mounted to the plate and it's hard to get to each one.

Every time I've used flat heads I end up scratching the plate (even being very careful). 

I have been using toothpics, and someone else mentioned using plastic spudgers like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/251849067295

Count me in, if another GB happens. Just getting into switch internals modding and this would help quite a bit.

I know right  :p  It does the job for now without scratching my plates, but I do plan on getting some of those spudgers eventually.

Cool, I didn't think about using that tool. One is included in the iFixit Pro tool kit  :thumb:

Is there any chance these will be made again?  I put myself down for the Interest Check, but wasn't sure if it's even tracked since this forum is from 2012.  New to this website and was searching for an MX top puller tool and read a post pointing here.  thanks.
