    This helped a lot. My little niece eats when she plays on my PC and there are a bunch of crumbs stuck inside my keyboard. Managed to lose my keycap remover a few months ago and there's no way to buy another from the coolermaster website. Thanks for this.

    Another way is rolling two pieces of papers and then flattening the tip of the rolled piece of papers. Then you put them both under and use the technique in the video where you just get underneath the key and pop it out

    Yes thank you so much! 🙏
    I was playing a game and I got mad so I hit my keyboard, and I hit mainly the spacebar… then the stabilizers got messed up, and I got really scared because I spent a lot of money on it… and even worse, I didn’t have a keycap puller to see if anything broke! The double guitar pick method worked perfectly, and luckily nothing in my keyboard broke. All I had to do was reseat the stabilizers and it got fixed! Once again, thank you so much.

    Thanks, now I can use this to troll my parents by switching all of the letters around. xD
    EDIT (4 years later): I was 14 when I made the original comment.
    Yes, I actually did this. It didn't affect me since I knew how to touch type (typing without looking at your hands), but I got a stern talking-to when my dad couldn't enter his password for an entire day.
    Even after switching all the keys back, I forgot the letters M and N, since they're hard to tell apart normally (Since I never look at the keyboard), so the same thing happened the next day, lol.
    Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

    Don't do ANYTHING shown in this video. You WILL damage your switches, you need to apply equal force on both size of your keycap. Seeing how the keycap and switch bends and twitches when he's prying them with cards and picks makes me fucking cringe. Even using your fingers is better, or two tea spoons.
