Do I need one?
Where can I find one cheap with cheap shipping. If someone could find something on Amazon that would be great.

I've never used one. They come off pretty easily. the handle end of a spoon works for me.

Don't waste money on one.. it's really really simple.
Just pull up that's all.. if you have 2-piece keycaps, you might want to remove the upper piece first but I usually just yank both of them out together.

Use a thin screwdriver for leverage.
