lol pretty cool but why can't they arrange it in proper order on the display picture.  It throws me off looking at that arrangement lol.

While that's a good price, I wouldn't recommend buying that keycap puller since it's been reported here several times before that it will scratch your keycaps if you're not careful.  I'd get  the wire ones instead.  Any of these should be fine.

Yep, the wire ones are the way to go.

True, specially for us, that mess with the keys so much. With the cheap keycap puller there's a chance of scratching it with insertion/for removal (not much you can do there) but when removing the extracted keycap from the key puller I slide it out (so it won't scratch the key from top/bottom).

Funny you should ask.  I just did a small review here (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=39943.msg788301#new).   :)   That third one is by KBC.
