    just to let you know, some keyboard switches looks 100% like this, but they are soldered :) , if you try to get them out, you will damage your keyboard

      That's why owners should know if their keyboard is hot swappable or not. One cannot tell by looks if the switches are soldered unless the keyboard is disassembled.

    Could you please tell me if it's possible to remove the switches on the left and right of the middle spacebar switch? One of those doesn't function on my keyboard and it's greatly impacted my typing

      ​@@GlobalBadminton that means yes, every switch is removable.
      Wait, do you mean the stabilizers? The two stems on either side of the space bar are part of a single stabilizer.
      Here you can see how you push in the lock tabs on either side of the stabilizer and angle up both of them and then slide it out.

      @@MechKeyboards yeah I think i mean the pins. Pressing the left pin doesn't register the space key for some reason.

      @@MechKeyboards basically, pressing the left side of my spacebar raises the right side of my spacebar... If that makes sense. Pressing the right or center of my spacebar allows me to use the space key normally.

    my switches always break on top when i use the force enought to remove it and i dont have any other switch puller :( and i cant really feel when i find the pulling spots so i hardly pull 4 switches and all of them are broken now

      Wow, that's crazy. What switches/keyboard? I've only ever had Keychron keycap stems break, but I've never had a switch break when removing a keycap (knocks on wood)!

    Can you help me, I use QiLive Q.3611 and it should be hotswappable but my switch wouldn’t pull itself out even by putting effort on it? I use switch puller

      "It should be hot swappable" Why do you think that it is, did it come with extra switches or a switch puller? Have you confirmed with the vendor if it is hot swappable?
