    My 4 key is really weird, as if something's stuck under it, do I just prise it off to see underneath?

    so if I want to dust off my keyboard, I can disconnect it, remove all the keys and blow the dust off (it would be a whole lot easier with all the keys off) and put them back on with no problems, just pop them out and pop them in?

    They're usually pretty tricky to pop back on once you get them off, so I imagine doing every single one of them would be quite a pain. And there's always the chance that you might break one of the relatively small plastic connectors. TBH, I don't think it's worth removing all of them, maybe just the ones giving you trouble.

    Tricky but doable.
    I still wouldn't take em all off though, it'd be a real pain.
