    Yes, some laptops you can just pop the keys on and off. I'd just call dell and ask them if you can do that, or if they have to send you a new keyboard

    The keys do come off, but the plastic clips are pretty fragile. You could always try to swap them yourself. If it works, great. If it doesn't then call and have the keyboard replaced.
