Anyone have a video of this in action? Wanting to see this in action because, as some who's cracked open thousands of switches, I can't see how it would be quicker than a small flat head screwdriver.

This is not the exact model. But it uses the same prong design (gateron and cherry). Just press it against the prongs and it opens all the housing tabs in 1 go.

TheProfosistIt's way quicker. Just set the switch on the prongs, push down a bit with the top, and boom, open. I joined for the cherry version today so I don't have to fiddle around with a screwdriver on either type of switch for big projects.

LevelSteamI tried on a couple of different switches made by Gateron and had no such easy luck. In fact, it was still pretty painful to take the switch apart. I have a pair of levers I got from mechanicalkeyboards.com a couple years ago that seem to work much better.

XyverzI ended up backing out due to delays, but I'll check out that tool.
