My Caps Lock key was feeling a little loose compared to the other keys, so I took it out to reapply. Now it feels even more wobbly, even though none of the connectors were broken underneath. Is there a specific way of putting a key back on, or do you just push? I don't feel all four ends of the connector latching on when I apply pressure.

make sure all the thin plastic/metal hinge thingies are in place. there are latches that grab them so you need to push really hard on the key in all directions and make sure you hear them "snap" in place.
ive disassembled my 600m's keyboard key by key and got them back on together. honestly i thought i can give them back the sturdiness after cleaning under the keys and them putting them back. i was wrong. they would press better because you cleaned under them but they wouldnt be firm in place, it could wobble if you put your finger on it and moved it in left right up down motion. -
Are you still in warranty, if so (or if anyone reading this thread has the same problem) you could just ask Dell to ship a replacement keyboard, as its pretty easy to replace and you can keep the old one for spares.

ofcourse you have to have an excuse in order for an exchange.
