Today I replaced a couple key switches on my Apple II keyboard. The L and , keys stopped working and I was unable to revive them. I was very lucky to be able to find a couple new key switches thanks to John Woodall, otherwise I would have to resort to pulling some from an old keyboard.

The process of pulling the broken key switches was actually very simple thanks to a spring loaded solder sucker which cleanly sucked the solder off each pin of the switch. Once they were desoldered I could simply press the clips and pull the switch out.
