Hi, I’ve seen a couple of answers on here about removing and replacing the keycaps. I spilt lemonade on my keyboard - luckily all the keys still worked but they were sticky. I decided to remove the keys, clean the keys with water and the switches with alcohol. The small letter keys are easy to remove and replace, but the larger keys (command, control etc) with the metal bars, I just can’t seem to get back on - when I try the keys get stuck all the way down. Has anyone got any tips on how to reapply these keys? Many thanks in advance :D
usually with bigger keys theres a metal bar \ spring under since they weigh more the switch cant push the key back up. check and see if you can work the metal bar in there Update (03/28/2021) it should clip in like this
so the metal bar needs to go UNDER the little hook on the board
@logixal here are pictures of the underside of they keycaps and the switches, and that the keys look like when I try and reattach. Hoping they’re still fine and I’m just doing something wrong to avoid a trip to Apple :(
