Every switch is different. Orihalcon sells Alps pullers.

edit - I don't use MX style switches and don't really know much about them

The linked thread is AFAIK more about keycap pullers I mean a keyswitch puller, for a Cherry MX compatible switches.

The Rama one works well but pretty much search MX style switch puller on Amazon - Also check Kinetic Labs, Novel Keys and any other board part retailer/e-tailer for them.
