DIY Keycap Remover

Things needed

  • 1mm wire you can get your hands on which is sturdy and long enough to be looped
  • Cable sheath, any old cable you can get yours hands (The one I used is from burned power strip, from which I chopped the cable off and extracted the sheath)

Wrap the straight pointed wire around the 2 wires going down to hold it in place

You can add hot glue at both ends and call it a day or you can take it further and turn it into the horrendous thing coming up
