I wonder if it's possible to heat up all 4 solder points of the switch and then pull it out - like with a heat gun or similar..

Works fine with regular electronic components but I haven't tried with Cherry-switches,
maybe the plastic doesn't like the heat ?

On the other hand, it might melt the stabilizing pins first, especially on the rohs boards. Anyone want to try this first?
