Just try to put on the cherry dyesub on my board, and found that there is a clear stem stuck under the "5" keycaps, and the clear stem is not from my board.... Show Imageanyone have idea how to remove it without breaking the caps? :'(got a really bad feeling right now....
I don't need anymore keyboards
Whatever you do, PLEASE wear eye protection before you start. We don't want little pieces of plastic or, worse, metal getting into your eye!
If you have a thumb tack, that is what I would do. Just poke into it and then pull it out. Or if you have a really beefy needle you don't care if you bend up that would work as well.

Use a slanted tweezer. That might help. Just slowly poke/pull the piece.
I'd use c4 if you can get some.
I'd go for a round dental scratcher to pull the plastic bits out, after keep the key cap in the freezer overnight. If possible adjust your freezer thermostat under 0 F.
Get a small drill bit and drill the center out. Then use a cheap small screw tap or manually screw in a small screw and slowly start pulling it out. If it strips, you may have to try and drill parts of it out, then go at it with an Xacto knife or something.If you're too scared to try, you can send it my way and I'll send it back, just pay for shipping.
Well jonathanyu, what happened? Were you able to extract it without negatively affecting your occular ability?
I don't know the size of that part of a key, im still waiting for my first mechanical keyboard... But, you can try a dab of superglue with a toothpick, hold it steady and try, don't know, i would have done that to see if i can get it out...
