The key caps are extremely fragile! Inspect the backside of the key cap review the image in Step 11 in Magic Keyboard Teardown

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the original keycap came off after I dropped the mouse on it :(. One of the tiny tabs broke off the keycap.

I did purchased a new one online and it came with both a keycap and scissor clip.

I made the mistake to trying to replace both the scissor clip and keycap combination. The scissor clip will not stay in place and will pop off.

@Sun Lam - Inspect the pins and make sure the metal tangs of the frame are not damaged or bent. Otherwise its time for a new set of parts.
