The "R" key on my MBP has been sticking a little. Doesn't really get stuck, just not the same bounce as the other keys. As I looked at it, it looks like there is a little dollup of sticky stuff under the lower right portion of the R key. Is there any EASY and SAFE way to remove the key, clean up the "stuff" and then replace the R key?


Edit- Well, I tried the old, "shove the corner of a piece of paper in there" trick and got most of the stuff out. I tried finding instructions at apple's support, but couldn't find it.

Not easy to do - I use a plastic pry tool, to remove 4 "F" keys on 12" PB G4s all the time. You just have to determine which side to lift on, to release the snaps under the key itself, it's a scissor action to do so.

They CAN break easily especially if you hit them at an angle, with a book or something like that - then you replace the whole key and scissor action from a donor keyboard.
