Yes, we need ALPS opener more than anything else. There are few MX openers on the market, but none for ALPS. Whoever makes it first gets all the girls.

How about the possibility to include one in your order of the Vulcano 660?

How about making the entire base threaded so you can close it by screwing the two pieces together?

I love this! Haven't tried a 3d printed one but I imagine they are quite fragile, so this would be awesome.

It will increase the cnc cost. I planed to do but gave up that idea.

Alps are pretty easy to open though.

Though this does look great so far, I would really like to see proof that the switch opener doesn't damage the switches at all from use...

Does one of these support the opening of Outemu switches?
Looks like the Kailh cracker might work.

Glad you worked out a kailh opener as well. Now I can order one of each and when showing other people what they are, I can say look at deez nutz.  :D

But seriously, these look nice and I'm excited for both.

For first version we did it in this way.

It can open black housing cherry mx switch because the material is soft .(can open it quite easily,pic nut1)

But when we using gateron(clear housing) , zealios and other transparent housing switches, it cannot open the switch as pic nut2 shown. The problem here is because the slope of the tooth, it is too sharp.

This is version 2 prototype in pic nut3.

Would be awesome if the MX and Box openers can be "screwed" on and off the top, just a thought.
But either way, awesome job! Can't wait for the GB, this is a godsend :)
