It is my invincible pleasure to present-

- The Entire Universe Invincible Manually Open Axis Device. (Prototype)

No words are really necissary here.
All understand when in its presence.
Behold.

(Device made by Sandy)






(it took 30 seconds to remove 3 keys and switch the internals. That is some power. Could be dangerous in the wrong hands so I will be looking after this one)

NO, NO, lam.
Do not use wooden end of the tool to pull up a mx key cap.  It may break a cap or a stem.
Probably I used it to unlock latches of AT-101.  I don't use metal-made tools, screw drivers for example, to push down plastic made locking levers .

Original idea of the "..Invincible Device" was introduced by one of my Taiwanese mate Mr. chens to Taiwan keyboard foruma "AKIMASA" which is listed in keyboard mod link as my3pc.com five years ago. Till then I used a single lever tool made of big staple used in cardboard box. He informed me his tool through my BBS. Then I made several tools using similar materials such as solderless terminals, MCA slot covers and so on.   Later on, I regularly used my final version made of fruit folk which is  similar to lozb's tool "全手動宇宙無敵開軸器- The Entire Universe Invincible Manually Open Axis Device".  I want his 2way fork with wooden handle.
It seems like that both of them are inactive now. I thought the forum had disappeared until I read Chloe's comment introducing lozb mod in auto translation.

Maybe I'm slow.  Maybe it's the bad night's sleep.  Maybe I'm of a morbid mentality (well, perhaps not "maybe" on that one).  But when I read "and the hand of my virgin daughter", I thought that her hand would be severed and offered as a trophy.  Not ... never mind.

I live in a very very very small island in the East China Sea of blue. I got back to the island three years ago.
You may believe or not but there is a road named  "Schrφder St."

I need one to remove the cherry blacks from my steel series keyboard and swap in some clicky blues.

Any guides to build these amazing contraptions or do you have some up for sale in the uk.

For my cherry G80-3000 i use two precision screwdrivers but for keyswitches which are half built into the keyboard rather than on top of the circuit board, are a real pain to remove and usually result in broken pieces of switch :-(.

Eclairz: You can only open up the PCB mount ones, not the plate mount ones. With the plate mount ones, you have to desolder them.

I think you'll need a large spade crimp terminal to fit M6 then bend the ends into hooks. I don't know where to find such a large size terminal though. Spacing of the clips on MX switch are 6mm apart. Terminal would need to have large cable entry so you can fit a wooden rod.

Auto parts stores should have these, and, maybe, places like Radio Shack.  You may also want to check out a store that sells car audio equipment.  Also, hobby shops, particularly those that cater to the HAM radio community, tend to have odd sized parts like these, and in the case of HAM radio shops, they are cheap. :)
