    My caps lock key is always popping off (not that I use it, ever), but if I press towards the top of the key, the whole thing lifts up.
    If I press back on the bottom of the key, it clicks back in.

    I bought it last year, December 15.
    Any helpful solutions?
    or just bring it in before it's too late?

    If you're close enough and it's convenient, just drop by an Apple Store and have somebody take a look. That can't be a major issue. I'd be tempted to use a dab of Super Glue if I were out of warranty and had the problem, but I only live about ten minutes from a SF Apple store.

    If it uses the scissor method, than the latches on one side are broken, which is why it's lifting up. My ' key did that on my DELL Inspiron 8600c.

    If the plastic piece is indeed broken, than the only way to replace it is to replace the entire keyboard.
