Title: cool keypuller Cherry KC001
Post by: asdf on Sun, 02 December 2012, 19:38:32: Have y'all seen this new keypuller? I think it looks awesome :)). Deskthority is doing a groupbuy for it but I'm not sure if it's for EU only or everywhere. http://deskthority.net/marketplace-f11/new-keypuller-from-cherry-deadline-5-12-12-t4499.html

I don't even like Filco's keypuller... I like WASD's the best.

Post by: BiNiaRiS on Tue, 04 December 2012, 02:23:50: Got one of these in the mail today. Filco puller is better for long keys like and enter and shift but this still works well. I like this one a lot more for 1 unit keycaps.

Mine was Cherry MX Black but the switch pops out and you can replace it with anything you'd like which is a really nice feature.

Great news that they can be popped out! Going to throw in the single Green I have lying around as a tester. xD
