I remember technomancy saying the alps keys are not easy to be

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).
As others have noted, re-soldering doesn't require removing the
keycaps. If you must remove the keycaps for other reasons, I would
recommend desoldering the switch first so you can pull the cap off on
its own without the rest of the board.
