I just wonder whether there was any competition of removal and installing key caps in the past.
These competitions can be in different groups:
- Group 40% keyboards
- Group 60% keyboards
- Group 75% keyboards
- Group TKL keyboards
- Group Full size keyboards
Key caps swapping often took me way longer than I want and I have always been wondering that someone out there can perform keycap swap in lightening speed.

Expert Challenge: Alps DSA.

I would advice not have pulling all keycaps off a keyboard be part of the competition, because with higher speed comes higher force and you could potentially damage keyboard switches and keycaps. (especially with Alps)
I think it would be fun to have a compo for populating a keyboard with keycaps though. Let's start with each contestant getting the keyboard's keycaps in a bag, unsorted and the winner would be the first person to have populated a full-size keyboard correctly.
This part should however allow the contestant to pull the odd keycaps that have been placed wrong.
BTW, I think the fastest keycap puller is the H-shaped one. More stable than a ring-type, and therefore faster. No need to wiggle.

But didn't.
