Wow, haha. We had convergent ideas. I had no idea that you had made these, man! And I was planning on possibly running an interest check on my own. I don't have any fancy CNC though, so I was going to make them by hand.

Damn. :P Were you also inspired by Sandy's switch opening tool? We even thought of the same idea with stems to grasp the switches!

Apparently there were a few  people working on stuff to this end. I was shown one made from a pen (not sure if that's the one your talking about) and another from a user which is where I first saw the center post holder. But did realize I was going to need it after trial and error.

Yep, I stumbled upon the tool that was made from a golf scoring pencil. It's likely the same one we've both seen. I copied that design but realized it wasn't adequate enough for truly effortless switch opening, so I had a light bulb moment and thought that a stem would be perfect to grasp the slider and pull the top housing up.

It took a lot of experimenting with depth and geometry but the tools I have now work 100% of the time, which is awesome. It was really a personal project since I have some particularly rare Alps boards that I do not want to take a soldering iron to. That was my main incentive. I want to swap the stems and leaves and springs and such for a custom build (hotswappable, so no soldering), but I don't want to defile the keyboards.

It's nice to see people thinking alike though.

I have no Alps. But a friend on here sent me a few to test with. I have to say I kind of like them. I offered to develop this as one of the many ways I try to give back to GH.

I hear you, and likewise! I feel the same way, though I am very much an Alps fantatic, hehe. I have always been frustrated at how tedious it is to open Alps with toothpicks and I don't want to use metal as that can seriously mar the plastic.

Tools like these are just amazing to have, so I too wanted to share them with the community, especially since Alps are becoming more popular!

Glad to see the nub idea from mine made it.  I'd still love to see it be a dual use tool, maybe have an MX tool on the other side and have a second with a  MX tool abd something on the other end.  Or maybe have cutouts so a couple alps switches fit in the handle so you can pop them open then have a mini lubing station.  Just trying to spitball ideas so it's not a single use tool.

i agree a dual use tool would be optimal, maybe V2 could have more switch tools included :)

I definitely wouldn't recommend these being made out of any kind of metal unless you don't mind scratching the switch housings.

1 - 5

Each takes over an hour of work. Hand tuned and tested. Numbered. On sale soon. Selling 4.

Acrylic will also be on sale soon too.

I think I'm going to sell them on ebay as an auction. Or at least one of them. And donate it to GH. Auctions may provide a wider reach for people.

I'm just kicking around the idea at this point.

Thoughts?

I know I'm going to seem like the vocal minority here, but I still don't recommend any kind of metal for oepning these switches as that can potentially scratch or gouge the housings. It would be cool if you could make them out of POM.

i have tested both acrylic and aluminum on some clear switches with no signs of marring the part i can't speak to how the classic black housings would fare but i have tested 12 acrylic and now 2 aluminum ones with no real signs of scratching.  when i get home tonight i'll take a much closer look but i dont anticipate any issues. i totally understand any reservation on the aluminum ones. they are somewhat more of a novelty to be honest. but they did come out nice :)

and on that note.  :(

since the aluminum parts are taking a ridiculously long time to manufacture due to polishing multiple tool changes, engraving etc i'm sad to say but the price will be abit higher than i originally anticipated. but in the spirit of things i'm going to take a loss. final price will be 25$ per aluminum part plus shipping. i will still be donating to GH 5$ with each one sold. Acrylic parts are still 8$ plus shipping 3$ to GH for each one sold (i'll combine shipping on any order of multiple parts.

again i'm super sorry. i don't like back peddling. please understand.

i do plan on getting more aluminum in the immediate future and making a second run if interest is shown, but will make at least one more in a future batch and auction it off with all profits made to GH.

if any of you has questions about my decision or wants to roast me please PM me i'm happy to explain in detail the process involved which prompted this small change.

oh.... and i have 2 acrylic ones that didn't pass my quality standard (chipped teeth on the top of the fork) they still work fine. i'll be posting later today with pictures (tonight). they will be given away conditionally. donate to GH and pay shipping. :)

That's good to hear. :) I guess I'd just be wary and use plastic anyway, BUT I think, of course, that many people would be very happy with an aluminum tool just out of durability and cool factor. :)

I think imma nab one of the acrylic ones :)

Not wise to open alps switches with your hands, I had a bleeding fingernail from that  :-X

And you can potentially damage the switch with the screwdriver method.

CLEAR ACRYLIC - ALPS / MATIAS REMOVAL TOOL ORDER INSTRUCTION.
  • Email bishopcomputerdesign@gmail.com  include in the body of the email your PayPal email address
  • include quantity
  • Total Cost: (<quantity>*$8)+6$
  • include mailing address (just in case)
  • shipping will be 6$
  • you will be emailed an invoice via PayPal which must be paid with in 72hrs or your order will be canceled (unless prior arrangements have been made. i'm human too)

6$ shipping is for ContUS only. if you want me to ship it outside the 48US you pay exact shipping.

3$ per part will go to GH


i'm setting shipping at 6$ due to the fact that acrylic is brittle and can break easily in a standard envelope. I will ship via a flat rate box to ensure the part(s) arrives safely.
if you want me to put it in a padded envelope anyway i'm happy to do so. shipping will reflect what ever the cost of that is. Do this at your own risk.

First come first served via the process above.

Anyone who has PM'd me regarding these tools now's the time to do the above.
(i feel it only fare that everyone do the same thing to order)  :thumb:

Count Remaining = 10  0

I see you are out of the tools.  Should I send an email to secure a place for the next round, or should I wait until you have them?

and another bit bites the dust. -_-

i have 3 and will open the doors on those.

i will order another bit once these 3 are gone and continue to create 2 more.

to order email me (Bishopcomputerdesign@gmail.com) limit one per person i will send you a pay pal invoice.

sorry for all the delays i have a hobbiest CNC not a Hass or Tormach and i'm a novice. bits break things happen etc etc. (grumble grumble)

once these three are gone i will go ahead and make this project and all its design files open source.
i want to thank the community for all its support/help/making this happen.
