Help! I can't seem to figure out how to replace 2 keys on a Microsoft ergonomic "scupt keyboard". It's maddening-NOTHING on the MS site!

This site tries to sell Sculpt keyboard replacement key parts, but I also found its instructions helpful simply for removing, cleaning, and replacing keys (without buying stuff).

In my case, I was afraid that I would never be able to reattach my right spacebar key to its two hinges, but all I needed to do was lay the hinges flat, center the key over them, and press down. The key reattached to both hinges.

The "clips" are not broken. I have both parts for the key. I can't believe there is NO information from Microsoft on this matter...probably throwaway. There most expensive keyboard, a key comes off and throw it away...ughhh, Microsoft
