I’m past applecare. Any handy magic remedies so I can stop copy-pasting my m’s?

what kind of mac do you have?
@patg7590 macbook pro 15” (2.16 intel core duo)
did you try popping the key off to see of the little membrane underneath works?
be gentle of course haha
No luck. The plastic nub doesn’t register when pressed down.
Might be time to replace the entire keyboard. On the aluminum Powerbooks, it’s pretty straightforward, though there are about a half-dozen tiny screws that need to be replaced. When I replaced my keyboard, it ran about $100 for the keyboard, and it took me about half an hour to do.
Silly Andrew. Just stop using words that contain an ‘m’. Problem solved.
Turn the keyboard up-side-down and use the W key….
