Isn't a fingernail enough?

Often, yes. The spudger adds precision, spares your nail and avoids metal tools, which scratch the chassis and can bend the hinge.

Specifications

Category: Spare parts

Overview

Spudger, plastic opening tool: the repairer's flat plastic tool. It unclips a key without scratching the chassis or bending the hinge, and gives gentle leverage to open a case or peel off a battery.

Compatibility

It is not tied to any keyboard: Logitech MX Keys keys, Apple Magic Keyboard, laptop keyboards — and more generally anything that unclips without a metal tool.

What it is for

Removing a key, clearing out a broken hinge, lifting a rubber foot, opening a case along its clips. The plastic is softer than the chassis: it leaves no mark where a screwdriver would.

How to use it

Slide the tip under one corner of the key and lift straight up, with no sideways movement that would bend the hinge. On a case, work along the edge clip by clip, without forcing it in one go.
