Every switch is different. Orihalcon sells Alps pullers.

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

“These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power."
He paused for a moment, then thundered, “Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power!”
“In vain,” Roosevelt said, “they seek to hide behind the Flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the Flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike.”
- Franklin Roosevelt 1933

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.
