Hi Eric, I've never taken one of these apart, but once my golden got a little excited and knocked a few keys out of a friend's laptop keyboard. I was surprised to discover that the springs that use to support keys in older keyboards were gone. Instead the keys were held in place and bounce back because of suction from the rubber at the bottom of the keys. Once back in place, they were all restored to functionality and my 85 LB furball got out of the dog house.
Hopefully, your Mac Mini keyboard uses the same principle. Good luck.

Hello listers, Using used equipment offers new challenges. My new used mini arrived. The keyboard came in two additional pieces a T key and a F13 key flooding around. Any chance of fitting these back in place? The case seems a bit rough from the trip but so far it started up ok. the Majic pad seems ok but I have not tried to use it yet. So can keys knocked off be replaced? If so what is the trick?
