    My W key is now making a *click* when i press it down! Kind of annoying, any way to fix this? are the keys removable?

    Removable, yes. Just gently pry it up, and it might FEEL like it's going to snap, but then it'll give way, and it'll pop off.

    However, if it seems to click, and then not click back into place, go check out an Apple store. My caps lock key would get stuck down crookedly, and after a while, it didn't stay down properly - Apple replaced it for me, no problems. :)

    Sometimes that happens when some debris gets stuck under the key. Just blow under the key with compressed air or pop it off and take a look.
