    Excellent video. My right return and right shift key were sticking on my extended Magic KB 2. After checking out another video on the subject, I found this video and following along got my keys to working as good as new again. Showing how the metal clips fit onto the keyboard and the keys themselves was worth its weight in gold. Thanks.

    You LITERALLY saved my day! Perfectly explained. I started off the wrong way (at the top of the key) and all the plastic parts underneath came off with it … separate! I tried to piece them together because I read somewhere that you have to assemble it crosswise. It was a nightmare. I tried multiple times and thought I broke a tiny tip off. Then I found your video and saw how it should look like when these plates are back on. And within 2 minutes it was done. It's super tight, although I really did break something small off. THANK YOU SO MUCH! I saved your video for future spills. 😉

    omg, this was FANTASTIC. Thank you so much for making this video, so detailed and efficient. I had spilled coffee on my keyboard (first time EVER in like 25 years). I immediately turned the board off and put it upside down on some paper towels with some gentle weight on it until the next day. but the space bar was sticking when I went to use it. I used a knife to get the key off, which I know is generally a bad idea because it can slip and cause even more issues. But I took my time, and everything works beautifully now!

I will say that I didn't have a jewelers screwdriver so I used a combination of a fairly rigid cardboard 'tag' (like from buying new clothes, but just a bit thicker) to wedge under the space key & then used a small, flat-tipped screwdriver under that to gently wedge the space key off. Thanks!

    Great video and very detailed. I had a sticky problem with my "shift" key and was great to understand how the mechanics of each key. By the way, just as a note to this excellent tutorial, I used the metal clip that comes with the iPhone for opening the SIM slot, as the tool for removing the key, instead of a toothpick or electronics screwdriver and it worked perfectly. The only reason to do it this way is because I had one on my table at the very moment I was doing the repair, so as a complement to the different tools explained in this video, you can also use the metal clip safely as well. Thank you @thecollegepicker for your video!

I took it apart following your video, cleaned it out and it still doesn't move hardly at all. I am not sure what is supposed to move the key back up after being pressed down, but it looks like a rubber bump in the middle that compresses air. That is shot. Looks like a new keyboard for me. Dang.
