Just can't figger how to get any leverage onto the bottom part to get it pressed back into its notch. The keycap covers access to where I need to push. What's the secret? Thanks, mike -- Return address is VALID!

THAT piece snaps onto the base of the keyboard. Now line up the keycap and push down - a bit hard - and the keycap squeezes onto 'that plastic clip' . The plunger under the key pushes it back up and the A frame guides it when depressed |
