Have a broken key on your keyboard? How about two? Three? More? Maybe it’s time to address the issue rather than continue to work around it. If you happen to have the dislocated key and all the plastic bits underneath, you might be able to snap it back on with a little handy fingerwork. If you need help, see your local techie.

If you don’t have the  old key or the clips are broken, you can get a baggie of laptop keys from eBay for less than $10 which will work on many laptops - perhaps even yours. If you don’t want to mess around with that, buy a complete replacement for about $20-30. It’s usually as simple as removing 3 screws and replacing the keyboard. Stop putting up with the hassle of reaching for the other shift key or hitting the little nub under your missing spacebar. Just replace it!
