Make A DIY Keyboard Key Remover With Two Paper Clips

If you ever need to move, swap, or remove keys from your keyboard, you’ll probably want the help of a keycap puller. Here’s how to make one with two paper clips.

Replacing and moving keys has become popular with keybaord enthusaists (especially those with mechanical keyboards) and it’s also pretty handy when it comes time to do a little cleaning. You can buy a keycap puller pretty cheap, but if you want one that works in a pinch, you can just bend a few paper clips into the above design and use that instead. I tried it today, and it worked like a charm.

Note that depending on the paper clip, it could scratch the bottoms of your keys, so if you’re worried about that it may be best to wait a few days and order a real one. Hit the link to read more.
