High quality Switch puller recommendations (self.mechanicalkeyboards)

I change out my switches frequently, and I’m looking for a tool that’s better than the free ones I’ve received over the years. Something that is robust, less likely to bend or break, is comfortable to use, and does a good job. Extra points if it’s cool looking, or comes in orange.

It's not the most advanced puller but compared to the free ones that you get I like this one a good bit https://cannonkeys.com/products/wuque-titanium-switch-puller

I own this and can vouch for it. A huge upgrade over the freebie switch pullers.

Now we’re talkin! This looks to fit much of my criteria. Thank you!

Not OP, but you cannot go wrong with this. It’s thinner hooks allow you to grab switches in tight corners.

I got the first one for free, but I liked it so much that I purchased another one just in case I lost/broke the first one.

Sounds like I’ll be ordering one soon!

I like this type, and it exists in orange:

I have been happy with this style, though I don't see one in orange: https://keygem.com/products/keygem-switch-puller

Thanks for the tip! Have you tried the titanium one the other person posted?

The Gateron one is pretty awesome.
