How are you guys getting the switches out? I am using my switch puller, but it is unable to push the locking mechanism in enough to pull out the switch. I used different switch pullers, including the one that came with the wooting 80, and a metal switch puller, but neither worked.

I eventually tried to just get one side of the switch unlocked, but the locking mechanism broke before the switch was able to be pulled out from the slot.

maybe its just a skill issue, but none of my switches are coming out.

or do yall have any reccomendations on a switch puller that can pull these out?

I need to re-lube my switches but I cant get these switches out.

Lekkers and geon raws are tough to remove without damaging the switch and/or plate.

Tried different pullers from generic no name brands to gateron, wuque, and tx all with the same result.

My process to remove these switches is to separate the plate and push the switch from the back while squeezing the tabs with hooks. If you have access to a 3d printer, you can make a tool that will push the switch out while squeezing the tabs.
