This should probably come with an extra warning, despite the title already saying "hot swap". If you didn't specifically search for a hot-swappable keyboard at time of purchase, chances are your keyboard switches are NOT hot-swappable. I just bought a Ducky Origin and it's only partially -hot-swappable: esc key and all the large keys. Switches should come off easily. If one doesn't it's probably not a hot swap switch.

I had a Ducky that had the same thing, boy did it get under my craw. As it was listed as hot swap, when it should have said partially hot swap.

I bought a key removing tool. A piece of the key is broken inside the button. Any tips to take it out?
