Wooting 80HE with Geon Raw HE switches (removal tip)

[jovial pasture]

Hi! I have recently tried Geon Raw HE switched on my Wooting 80HE, trying to swap out jade pro/jade maxes and other magnetic switches to see if they’re a better for FPS gaming.

However, I have realised that the Geon Raw HE switched are so hard to remove from the PCB, as compared to the jade switches (A slight pull would get it off), but Geon Raw HE just feel stucked onto the pcb and requires a huge force to pull it up. I am afraid that I might damage the pcb. Are there any tips for removing Geon Raw HE switches? Or do anyone face the same issue while removing this switch?

Screw the board apart, and push the switches out from behind.
