This Gateron opener uses leverage: drop a switch in, press, and the top housing pops off, so a full board's worth of switches becomes an afternoon job rather than a weekend. It is aimed at enthusiasts who already have a hot-swap keyboard and want to tune how it feels and sounds. If you only ever swap whole switches in and out, you do not need it, a switch puller is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhich switches it fits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeychron lists the opener as compatible with MX-style switches and clones, which covers the CHERRY MX2A sets and most Gateron, Keychron and other standard-height switches. It cannot open Kailh Box switches, and it does not work on any low-profile switch, so it is no use with the Gateron Low Profile 2.0 sets or slim Keychron K-series boards. Keychron does not publish material, dimensions or weight for the opener. Remember that opening switches is fiddly work; take your time with small springs and keep parts sorted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLever action opens a switch in one press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits MX-style switches and clones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpeeds up lubing, spring swaps and filming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade by Gateron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Keychron KZQ-H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Gateron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: MX-style switches and clones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Compatible: Kailh Box switches and all low-profile switches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 Year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWHAT'S IN THE BOX:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eGateron switch opener x1\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Keychron?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeychron stocks the tools enthusiasts actually use when they modify its hot-swap keyboards.
