Do you like the minibear switch opener? I found mine wasn't the most "automatic" experience, but it was my first time and used it with softer material switches (UPE), so not sure how much of that is to blame

i was eyeballing this bear switch opener too, seems reasonably priced and its WS, should be decent i presume?

I mean the build/theory is solid enough, but when I used mine it was one press and open maybe 20% of the time? Otherwise you kinda had to work it over, or take it out and finish prying with a fingernail, or just reset and try again. Not super frustrating, just not seamless as I expected.

Honestly, with the differences in size of switches, it doesn't surprise me that it isn't always as seamless as it should be, and I find the two tab switches tend to do that, while cherry style switches are always a bit easier to open
