FAQ:
Q: How do I use a metal keycap puller?
A: Slide the prongs under the keycap you want to remove at opposite sides. Place the handle in your palm and apply firm, steady pressure to lift the keycap off the keyboard.
Q: Will a metal keycap puller damage my keycaps?
A: Properly used, a metal keycap puller should not damage your keycaps. However, applying too much force or leveraging the puller at an angle can strain and potentially crack keycap stems. Start by applying gentle, even pressure and slowly increase force as needed.
Q: Can I use a metal keycap puller on any type of keyboard?
A: Metal keycap pullers are designed for mechanical keyboards where the keycaps use "cross" stems. They will not work on keyboards with "slider" or "scissor" switch keycaps like those found on most laptop and membrane keyboards.
