If only every youtube tutorial was this well made... Just what I needed. Excellent job organizing/labelling the sections, and perfect camera angles and speedy narration.
Appreciate your appreciation. 🤝
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.
Bro. This video is so comprehensive and the presentation so well-organized. I swear, every TH-cam tutorial should be presented like this.Thank you for making this so easy and accessible, all the way through.
Appreciate the kind words bro 🙏 I hope you got your keyboard fixed up.
I was thinking the exact same thing~!
Great tutorial. So helpful and detailed. My keys were sticky and I couldn't take anymore. Thank you for making it plain and simple for a nontechnical person like me. I am so proud of myself. I did it!! Great video
SO HELPFUL! I watched many tutorials but this one is the best. As others said, the explanation of the mechanism was key. While my space bar only had one metal rod (at the bottom) I was able to follow your video and finally fixed it. Thank you!!!
You are welcome =)
Great detailed tutorial. My 0 and right key have been sticky for a while and it finally got to the point where the 0 wouldn't spring back at all. This was detailed and had good camera angles to get me in to see the process. Thanks and great video!
Great video. The explanations really helped. After a year of frustration trying to fix my spacebar, I finally was able to fix it with your help. Thanks for the help!
Thank you for ACTUALLY explaining the mechanism underneath the keys...which no other video seems to do. Much appreciated!! I couldn't get my keys to spring back until I understood that I should slide the top of the keys down before I clip in the bottom! Thank you very much!
You are welcome =)
@@thecollegepicker hey am I doing something wrong? I've been trying to put my space back on for 2 days and it just gets stuck at to the bottom. And when I put back my r key, it is a bit rotated to the right
@@xdpplays8002I have the same problem with my „v“ key its in and the spring kinda works but i doesnt go up as high as the other keys and is also rotated to the right

@@thecollegepickerwould appreciate it if you could help me out :D
Brilliant thank you.
My recent most annoying computer issue has finally been solved thanks to your expert help!!
Finally mmmmy MMMMmmm key is no longer sticky! Awesommmmme!
Thank you so very much for taking your time to explain this in such detail and with such patience! Greatest possible explanation of these procedures I've ever found, and the first time I haven't damaged anything in the process! Huzzah!!!
I've come back to this video several times, it's super helpful - thank you!
Very, very good. Just what I was searching for. Saved me the cost of a new keyboard.
Thank you! You saved me $120 and the aggrevation of having to get a new keyboard. Appreciate your step by step instructions that made it easy.
Thank you for this! I was having a lot of trouble getting the space key back in properly, and this helped me get it back to normal.
One of the best tutorials I have seen. Incredibly detailed and I was able to follow each part without worry. (Well, without very much worry.) Thanks for your expertise.
So helpful, thank you so much! Great video format and so detailed and just what I needed!
You are welcome 🤠
Incredibly concise and clear instructions with no distracting background music. The indexing is very helpful. Great job! Thanks for posting this.
I was having problems with the Shift key. It worked when I simply removed the metal pieces and pressed the shift key back in, but when you demonstrated how to install the metal parts, I just had to redo it the right way and it worked thanks!
A great video even for the clumsiest. I was able to clean the sticky keys perfectly. Thank you very much and greetings from Romania!
Brilliant - So very detailed & clear.
Many thanks......all the way from London !
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. 😉
by far best and most in depth video about proper method to remove keys.Thank you for doing this.
Thank you for making this! If you own a TouchID wireless keyboard without a numeric pad, you can use this video to figure out how to reassemble the arrow keys.
Thanks buddy! Great video. Just had a couple of keys come off in my backpack and this helped me get everything back on perfectly :)
Thanks, this was a great guide! Especially being able to jump right into the section about the space bar because that was my only problem.
Thank you so much! This was incredibly helpful and I was able to fix my sticky keys!
Solved my sticky key problem. Thank you!
So clear and helpful. THANK YOU
Best instructional vid - you're brilliant, thank you so much its so nice typing with a functional space bar again 🥰
Thanks buddy, on a mountain side in Bali and panicked my keyboard was fuc**d but you saved me with your video and a round trip of 4 hours to get a new one!
You made my day. Apple service center denied to fix keyboard key (shift) even in warranty but your tutorial around space bar placement helped. I was not orienting clips properly.
Really great video! Thank you! You saved me buying a new keyboard. I am grateful!
What a godsend ! Thank you so much. In my case it was just the spacebar sticking with dried in beer spill. I had searched and found a some videos explaining the spacebar was next to impossible to put back on after removing it. After seeing your section on the spacebar I felt confident enough to fix it myself no big issues. Well done us!
Good work!
amazing man! Im pretty bad at everything and thanks to your tutorial, i fixed my keyboard even though it took a few trys!
You are good at following directions my man 💪
Superb video! Worked like a charm! Thanks!!
huge help! Bought a used keyboard and the forward slash was troublesome, succeded in removing something from underneath it and works like a charm!
Sticky shift key-no more! Thank you; this was a lifesaver.
Awesome video and explanations! Typing this from my freshly cleaned keyboard with no sticky keys! Thanks for making this.
You are welcome. Happy to help 😃
So helpful and to the point. Thank you!
thank you so much! Typing now from my fixed apple keyboard!
So helpful! Thanks!
Great video, very instructional and easy to follow. Thank you!
You're very welcome! =)
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!
Glad you got it fixed 🙂
Clear instructions. 3min in I got exactly what I needed. Very helpful. Thanks so much! I have a properly working B key again! BBBBBBBBBBBBbbbbbBbBbbbbbBbBb!!!
YESSS!!! THANK YOU! 2 key was sticking like crazy. Managed to get the key and switch out and back in again, and it now works like new.
Oh good glad to help. You are very welcome ☺️
Nicely detailed instructions. Very helpful, thanks.
Happy to help 😊
Very impressed. This has got to be the most comprehensive and fool-proof and understandable step by step that I've watched for any how-to on TH-cam. I usually end the video with more questions than I had at the start because the demonstrator assumes too much and leaves out important details. Refreshing to see that someone has it all together. Looking forward to seeing what else this guy can show me!
I appreciate the comprehensive thought out comment. I'm glad I was able to help 🙏
amazing videe. detailed vids like these deserve millions of plays
Great video, super understandable and helpful.
THANK YOU! I nearly bought a new Magic keyboard after spilling coffee and locking up my Shift key. You saved me $100! Great video. 🙂
Thank you - very helpful. Can you do one on the Apple Magic Keyboard Ver.1 as well?
Thank you so much! Spilled beer on my wireless keyboard and the shift key was stuck. I fixed it myself in 5 minutes. You saved me lots of travel time, aggravation and money!
Happy to help. Cheers Mike 🍻
thanks a lot! got my shift key fixed quick!!
It did help me with my apple keyboard. My "m" key was kinda half stuck, you had to press hard to get an M output , thank you so much for this video!
Thanks mate! Helpful!
Sweet! My upward arrow key pooped off on my Magic Keyboard for my 12 something inch, but thankfully I was able to fix it with this great tutorial! Saved me like $150 bucks lol!
Good work, happy to help 🤝
Thanks. Very informative. Great tutorial
Super useful video, thank you very much!
Excellent instructions. Fixed my wife's keyboard. Cap Lock, Shift, and a few of the square keys needed to be removed and cleaned. Thanks for the help!!!
You are very welcome. No tabs broken!?
@@thecollegepicker Nope, everything was perfect. I had to try the shift key 3 times to get it to line up. I used a jewelers screwdriver to do the work. Thanks again, excellent instruction!
@@homebrewingtips6029 @HomeBrewingTips Awesome, so happy to hear that! =)
Thanks for making this video. Super helpful!
You are welcome 🤗
Excellent Tut thanks for saving me a couple hundred there. So much stress but was helpful in attacking my shift key.
You are welcome 🤠
A great video, thank you. I have been having problems with the space bar sticking. I thought it was dirt. 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.
Thanks again.
One of the best videos on cleaning the magic keyboard.
🙏🙏 appreciate you
Thank you so much, it really saved me!! I was to scared to do it in case I break it but your in depth video really helped!
Happy to help, you are very welcome
Great video. Fixed my sticky shift key which was making the keypad inop. Thanks,
Thank you very much for this video! As I understood the switches of this keyboard and the latest MacBook M1 keyboards are very similar. But is it possible to put key caps from MacBook to the Magic Keyboard (this one or some newer model with touch ID)?
Awesome - This worked very well. Thank you for the details!
You are very welcome. Happy to help
Wow! Worked like a charm! I'm really glad that I didn't try this (remove space bar) without watching the tutorial, though. This was perfect :)! 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!
Glad it helped! 🤝
Idk what we would do without repair videos like this. I suppose break it and learn the hard way.
Great video, thanks! 👍
Extremely helpful. Thank you.
Happy to help 😃
thanks just what i needed
Great explanation... only difference i found in my keyboard was the FN key... its upside down in compare with others.
Very good video and good use of practical tools. If I may point out that keycap pullers are available from $1 to a few dollars and they can make this job much easier (knowing the backside of the keycaps is AWESOME and a lesson that cost the rest of us at least a few keycaps to learn).
Great video! I need to work on my E key. Such a pain when it sticks.
Thanks! You should be fine with this tutorial 💪🙌
Thanks for taking the time to put this up. Cleaned a sticky long key on my A1843 and life is good again. It was just a buildup of worn plastic and/or grease on the steel bar pivots. I would not have figure out how to remove the key without breaking it had I not seen this video. Thanks again.
It worked! Thank you so so much for the helpful video. Saved me from having to replace my keyboard as a whole! :)
You are welcome
AMAZING video. thank you so much for the very detailed tutorial.
You are welcome
Very helpful video, thank you man. It's Sade I removed the space button before watching this video))
Thank you, I was actually able to fix my "f" key by removing it as you showed, blowing any invisible dust off the underside of the key, then simply replacing it without doing the extra steps.
Really glad I watched this - saved me from busting my shift key by giving me precise directions to remove it. Didn't manage to cure stickiness though, by blowing with compressed air - will order a bottle of isopropyl booze tomorrow!
Happy to help 🐱
Excellent video. Cleaned the left shift and caps lock keys. Cat fur was involved. Tried out the keyboard and it's working fine.
Glad it helped! Bad kitty 🤣
Thank you for showing the up/down arrow keys.
You are welcome, it's kind of tricky on those.
You saved me :) big thanks
perfect video!! 👏🏼
Thank you, well done!
any other tips for attaching the command key? i cannot get it back in place 😭 and thank you for the video!!!
Very useful. Thank you🙏👍
I really wish I could go back in time and not do what I just did. I can't reinstall the command key properly and I've tried my best to be really careful and precise. It gets stuck down or twists slightly and then ends up getting re-stuck. I appreciate the instructions but I must have done something wrong.
Might be too late for you but if anyone have this problem, the back of the key has a small bending that might be bended more than necessary while you were trying to remove the key. Just try to bend it back to normal position (you can compare it with another healthy key)
I thought the same thing and @iamdijki is right. I bent the key from each corner until I noticed it look flatter on the top and the key went back on correctly
Thank you!
Thanks, this was super useful. I've cleaned every key on my keyboard except the return key, which on the UK layout is thin and extends over two rows of keys (so it's considerably taller than it is wide). I haven't tried to remove it for fear of it breaking. Do you know which side the clips will be on? It doesn't look like they would be on the bottom.,
thank you very much, helped me a lot!!!
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!
Good to know! Great use of that sim tool, I appreciate the thoughtful comment =) Thanks for watching
thanks dude!
Great video.
Can you please do a video on the tab key on the A1243 keyboard, removing and re-assembling. That one is different from return and delete key on this video. Thanks!
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the detailed instructions. I couldn’t however place back my left shift. It’s actually placed in, but it seemed stuck and not springy. The button has no metal strings. Any idea how to place it?
Thanks, extremely high quality
You are welcome 🤗
Super helpful. One note: The right arrow key is upside down from the other keys. So you need to pry from the top. I was very confused trying to get that one off before realizing. Edit: Also, using a thin (0.60) guitar pick works wonders as the pry tool.
good idea w/ gtr pick
Very useful. Saved my trip to repair center.
Oh good. Happy to help
