    As pc gamers, we all use wsad a lot. But my W key keeps popping off my laptop and I do not know how to fix it. The key latches right back on, but comes off after five minutes or so. And I do not know if using glue will fix the problem. It could make it worse. Anyone have a solution other than buying a whole new laptop or keyboard?

    Sounds like maybe one of the clips is bent. It should be possible to buy individual keys but the price to do that probably isn't worth it. I have the volume up button on my laptop broken so it either is loose on the bottom and comes off with the pressure of one press or it sticks and barely moves, making it difficult to actually actuate the key.
