I just left the caps on when resoldering the cold solder joint that I had.

I recently decided to move some of the keys to shorten the distance my
pinky fingers need to travel.
I just left the key caps on while I re-soldered the keys, in a way this
helped - it stopped me from shifting the keys too much.
Also, YMMV, but I have had success just prying the keys off with my
fingers.
But, various tools could be used, I've heard that wax carving tools can
help.

I remember technomancy saying the alps keys are not easy to be
removed. As they are too tight, forcing them out might cause the
switch to come out or something to break.
What alternative do you suggest to remove the keycaps? I need to
re-solder 2 keys (they seem to have become cold joints).
Thanks!
