my backspace key broke

and i need it a lot :I

can anyone explain like im five how to fix it? i've fixed a lot of normal keys before but this ones sort of longer and more annoying. i dont think any of the little pieces from it are broken ( yet) :III i googled it and they used funky key lingo i dont know and they made it sound like its kindergarten work

but this seems like some mad rocket science bro

its like a pretty important key so if i cant fix it my christmas money is probably going toward a new keyboard;;; i know how to mess with the keyboard settings garbage and make some other key backspace instead (i had to do that when i broke my space bar a while ago but like i ended up breaking 1/3 of the other keys too so i just got a whole new keyboard, which held up for a while until this incident right here) and i have a wide variety of useless keys to choose from, but it looks pretty ugly to have that gap where the real one's supposed to be

so yeah help me guysss

Re: my backspace key broke

Well, how is it broken? Did it just break off? Did someone pry it off?

Re: my backspace key broke

I kept popping mine back in but it kept coming back out often so I took mine to a place and they fixed it within a few minutes for free.

It was still a little loose so I bought a pad that fit my keyboard and I have not had a problem in a very long time plus it keeps dust and anything else away from the keyboard  big_smile

though i sort of made a big deal about fixing it myself because i thought i could (my sister was like "let me fix it for you~~~~!" and i was like "no go away i can do it")

the rest was a nice anecdote but what youre describing doesnt sound like itd work for a laptop? lolidunno computers arent my thing
