How to remove and fix Apple Magic Keyboard keys
I found almost no good explanation of exactly how a Magic Keyboard'a (A1843) keys should be taken off and put on. After damaging a few and fixing them, here's how I learned to do it.

    OMG! Finally, I had seen like 5 videos explaining how to "slide it in" but none acknowledged what can happen to the top hooks (if trying to insert them in incorrectly). I just fixed the top hooks by force and now I was able to fix it! THANK YOU

    Thank you! I just pried up a little bit on the bottom of both keys I was having trouble with, blew some air from my mouth, and both keys now work. I have the a1843 apple keyboard, and did not have to take the keys off.

    I almost threw mine into the trash, as I was trying to get a grad school paper done at a deadline and the "s" stopped working. I found this video, and boom. You are a lifesaver!

    Advice Needed. I have the same keyboard as this one but it is wired. but when I press 789 on the numerical pad it comes back as 123. do you know of a fix?

    This is a really helpful explanation, and I now have my keyboard back after spilling orange juice on it! I found the can opener on my Swiss Army pen knife provided the range of leaver widths necessary to do the job, along with 98% isopropyl spray. Thanks again!👍

    Super helpful. My "T" key has been working intermittently for a year. Would always work if I pushed down all the way but not as responsive as all the others. Thanks for the video. Did it right the first time and it was an easy clean. Works like a champ now! TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT see? :)

    Super useful guide! Thanks Be aware that the lower right key (the right arrow) is basically upside-down, the key is the same as the left arrow but Apple, in order to save in production cost, turned it upside down. So basically for this key the procedure has to be done from the upper part of the key and then sliding the key upwards.

    Excellent explanation of how to reinsert the key and what could happen to the little tabs if you push straight down (as another video said to do). Because I got bad info, I had to "reform" those tabs. Fortunately this video explained that, I was able to reform them, salvage the key, and got it back in correctly.

    I was never able to fix a broken keyboard, especially after the dog chewed thru the cable twice, even after re-connecting the 4 wires in the cable it still didnt work. and to-day after simply wiping the keytops with a paper towel slightly dampened with rubbing alcohol to clean them, "b" and "n" no longer work, after carefully just removing the N key as shown- now the entire row Z through / no longer works, the things are just way too sensitive and no longer work like the old mechanical keyboards with contacts used to. So the Macally aluminum keyboard goes in the trash and I ordered new one just now. The keyboard was 8 months old, used every day, time to get a new one anyway.

    Yes, I was here because I popped it back on and it wouldn’t work. I actually damaged one of my keys but knowing how they go back on, I was able to fix it! Thanks!

    Do you need the official apple knife tool to remove these or can I wing it with something less cutlery based...? all kidding aside, your video was spot on. Thanks for posting.

    my 'y" is typing out 'z' and the 'z' is typing out 'y'. Do you think cleaning out the keys will fix it or should i just buy another keyboard?

    Worked like a charm, thank you! Bought a refurbished magic keyboard on Amazon, thought I was going to have to return it with the "o" key not going down correctly. Used this method and now good as new!
