I need to change a 1P-2w light switch on a 2-gang MK LogicPlus faceplate to an intermediate switch. What's the magic technique for removing the switches from the faceplates without breaking the retaining clips?
Removing a 10AX switch from an MK LogicPlus faceplate

Sure it's Logic plus and not Grid plus?
Either way a 3mm flat screwdriver is your friend,
Warm up first with a hairdryer?
Yes, Logic plus
Success! In case anyone else needs to make the change: I slid two small (2mm'ish) screwdrivers into opposite ends of one of the clips. It felt brutal but the switch popped-off the plate without damage. The same was repeated with the donor plate and switches swapped.
A good idea, but gentle(ish) persuasion at room temp worked.
I thought MK (and all/most other brands) used thermosetting plastics?
Guess they must have changed from the old sliding metal clips? ;-)
