    Simply put your thumb on the bottom of the key and pull from the top with your index. It feels like it will break but if you do it correctly the key will come off, after all they needs need to hold in place tightly. There's a video on youtube on how to do it i think.

    ASUS G73 G73JH G73JW Replacement Laptop Keys
    they sent me same one design but darker key color. the hard step to do is assemble the 2 pieces retainter into 1 ( no tutorial from these link above ) once you done that make sure it's not dislocated.)

    Personally, i would have ordered a new kb but that's just me being overkill again and spending more than i should... It does take a bit of thinking to put the plastic retainer in plate though i can confirm that, should have mentioned it.

    Its time to leave the house and get back to reality. I remember the days of WoW for me and I left a firm rear print on my sofa let alone my poor left touchpad button from spamming flash of light about 4 billion times with my awesome Holydin.

    Good times :D
