heresy!

Pretty cool looking though and interesting as I like the ring pull type keypulls more for alphas and use the wire ones for mods/long keys might be worth me picking up :)

Also, they are better to carry on your key ring because they don't get bent in your pocket.

But they scratch your keycaps, especially ABS. :(

Why would you be bothered about them getting scratched since you know usining them make them shine On the flip side (because apparently I'm now a 90s person) wire ones scratch the bottom of keycaps :(

I got one free with my KC87, WHICH IS ALSO INCLUDED IN THE ONE IM SELLING IN THE CLASSIFIEDS *wink wink*

IMO, plastic ones are better for pulling off spacebars and long modifiers

Post by: ConscienceDrop on Mon, 15 June 2015, 19:47:45: You guys got it all wrong.
The plastic end is for dropping scotch stones into your scotch, or pulling them back out.

Obviously you use the wire-puller for keys

Ring type pullers can be super-fast to use. No need to wiggle. You could strip a board of its keycaps in under a minute.
