I hate to leave comments like this, but if you have sticky keys, DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS. You will damage the aluminum hooks and the keys will not pop back in. Just take your laptop to the Apple Store or someone with the appropriate tools. Trust me.

i'm having the same issue with the delete key as well. Something must be wrong about the delete key of macs lol

Top video! I've tried to remove my spacebar with instructions from different video, but I struggled and yours nailed it! I was troubling to reinstall the spacebar but you explained it in the best way!

You are about the fourth video I've tried. They all gave me little bits of what I needed. But yours gave me everything. Hallelujah, my delete key lives again!

Thanks!! One thing I'll add: if you have compressed air, but it didn't help, then the trick with the card lifting up the key can be a good next step. Without trying to take the key off, lift the key with the card as described with the video and try blowing air under the key again. With the key lifted, it might be enough to do the trick

Two comments: 1: Thank you, as this helped reveal how to remove / install keys. 2: HOWEVER, while I have 32 years experience in hardware service, prototyping, development (including extremely fine-pitch solder, rework), etc., and many years of field service experience, I ended up breaking off one of the four small plastic corner retainer (hooks) underneath the key-cap that I had removed. I was very careful, and patient--yet I still broke one off a small piece of plastic. The key is back on and works fine, so I am not out of commission. However, as I have extended Apple care--and I did not leave any markings that provide evidence that I removed the key--and I am logged in to Google making this comment on a different account that my gmail associated with my Apple account, I'll take it to the Apple store and just pretend that it was "just like this" and that I know nothing.

Thanks a Lot!!! One of my keys had become stiff, i simply followed the instructions in the video, removed it, cleaned and again installed. Now the key is working perfectly fine!!!

had a problem with the spacebar. Even if I use a keyboard cover I had a lacking spacebar. Thank you for this tutorial!

I think ended up breaking a key by lifting at the top/back of it instead of from the bottom. It would be worthwhile to (1) be clearer about how the keys work and interact with the scissor mechanism, (2) the reasons why it's important to hold down the top of the key when lifting it from the bottom , and (3) how important it is to *not* lift the key from the back/top.

Great tutorial! Helped me not screw up my keyboard. I do want to mention two things: 1. As an alternative to a toothpick, which breaks, a guitar pick also does a great job. 2. Further, maybe my keyboard was just extra sticky but the first time I tried it just applying some alcohol with a toothbrush like this didn't work for me. The keys remained sticky. I ended up lightly lifting the scissor mechanism with the guitar pick. That way I could very clearly see how easy the switches would move and whether they were truly clean. For some especially sticky keys, the switches wouldn't move down on their own after I pried them up. After applying alcohol a bit more thoroughly and moving the switch up and down a few times to get the alcohol to the hinges better, it worked like a charm. Hope this will save some people the effort of having to do this whole process twice like I did. Also: holy hell this is annoying with the 'Press Any Key to Power On' function. You obviously want your MacBook to be unplugged and turned off when you do this, because even though alcohol evaporates quickly it's still liquid, but that is quite a pain when accidentally hitting any key (which you might imagine is a common occurrence when cleaning a keyboard) turns on the MacBook. Be careful to not brush any other keys or hit the actual button in the middle of the scissor switch mechanism.

Do you have the keyboard style with the enter upright vertical, instead of laying parallel to the spacebar, like him in the video?

This video helped me a lot, thank you But I’ve noticed that the keys that been cleaned started feels different to the ones that were not affected. By feels different I mean I noticed a little drifting and clicking when I slightly staggering them. Is it some mistake I made when was putting them back or they just won’t feel the same after removing and putting back?

This was super helpful. I had something restraining the click on the F12 key of my Macbook Air M2 (2022). I used a adhesive plastic sheet instead of the card and a plastic toothpick instead of the wooden one. Just lifting the key was enough for the dust to roll off and the key came back to normal. Thank you so much!

You are welcome. Good work 🤝

Couldn’t figure out why my spacebar on my M2 15” Air was mushy as I baby my MacBooks. My best guess is one of the support bars came out from one of the aluminum sides cause when I put it back together it worked good as new. Appreciate the detailed guide!

Spilled some beer on my shift key, it stopped clicking after it. Saw this and cleaned it. It is good as new now. Thanks a ton man.

*VERY VERY HELPFUL! THANK YOU!!*

ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC! Thank you so much for this video! The ones trying, be patient, start with your least used keys to get the hang of it and build confidence. My keyboard was SO dirty. This has worked so well for me!

Good idea!

Thanks so much! great video. my left shift key was stuck (after removal, I realized there was some sticky stuff holding it in place. Ordered a new keycap, took the old one off, cleaned the sticky stuff out with alcohol, and installed the new shift keycap per your exact instructions. Worked perfectly!!! Thanks again.

Thanks friend, I don't speak English but that doesn't stop me from thanking you

i had a bad experience with a previous laptop with a similar clipping mechanism that i broke when removing, im grateful for this video I did not damage any of the keys!!

thank you no dumb stuff went straight to the point

Thanks a lot. The other videos didn't explain how to reattach the arrow keys. I was stuck but now I have a whole keyboard again. Thanks!
