So i was doing stuff on my macbook and suddenly one of the keys (W to be exact) feels loose and works only if i press it down hard i went to a repair shop and the guy wanted over 100$ (in conversion) for keyboard replacement i got mad because it’s 1/4 of what that laptop is worth rn is there really any other way to fix this? Or do i really need to replace the whole keyboard?
Is this a good question?

The key may be out of place slightly, has a broken bracket, or the contact underneath is likely dirty. I would look up your specific computer for recommendations for your keyboard but most times a key can be carefully removed from the keyboard by prying with a spudger and then cleaned. I would use a quetip and a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to clean the underside of the key, the plastic/metal brackets that hold the key in place, and the contact if possible. You should be able to find the key and the brackets if visibly broken.
