The Gateron Switch Opener is a well-designed tool for anyone who regularly opens mechanical switches – for example, for maintenance, lubrication, or modding their keyboard. At approximately 126 mm long and featuring a metal handle, it provides ample leverage, making opening MX-style switches significantly faster and more comfortable without putting unnecessary strain on your finger joints.
