Just scratched my topre with the metal key puller as well.. Irks me when I look at that key.  Mostly because I wasn't careful and my grip slipped.  Check daskeyboards if they have one.

at least you only messed up one! i been using that stupid topre key puller for my double shots that i harvested from a brand new board.. and when i went to put them on my g80.. almost every key was scratched~!  part of my own stupidity too.. keys are plastic a der der -.-;

anyway i did find a keycap puller from amazon but it comes out to $10 which i think is kinda ridiculous.. so i figured i'll try here first to see if anyone has a spare

thx for the tip but das / elitekeyboards don't have any neither

I think I bought that last one from Amazon. Cyberguys, right? Had to bend over for the price but like you, I couldn't find one used!

 Here's one on Ebay, but the price is worse than Amazon's with shipping. It says he's only sold one to date, maybe you could message him and tell him you'll give him $7 shipped and he can consider himself well-paid.

Amazon is sold out and Elitekeyboards is sold out. I found this ebay seller here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Keycap-Puller-/300537454027?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f96d9dcb#ht_3287wt_818 (http://cgi.ebay.com/Keycap-Puller-/300537454027?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45f96d9dcb#ht_3287wt_818)

Price seems decent. The shipping is not bad either for me in Hawaii so it's not that much more expensive than the Amazon and EK option. Might be more expensive for someone who was on the CONUS though (in comparison I mean)
