Is this a good question?

Open your system preferences keyboard control panel, check the Show keyboard viewer in Menu bar so you can open the viewer. Using the viewer, see if the delete key functions there.

I think you can get away with just replacing the rubber dome piece Type-G Silicone Dome - Standard

It doesn't work. Any other key get a darker background when pressed...
It works when clicked on viewer but does not physically
Unlike the standard keys the longer base keys use a wire to align the press more centered. I'm suspecting the wire jumped the clip point so you'll need to pop off the keycap to then moved it back. Review this page to figure out which type you have click on the image to dig down Unibody MacBook Pro KeyCaps
Sorry I was thinking of the bigger keys. No wire on this key.

[image|2276058] @danj that is my key clip type. Where can I find the wire you told?

@edimar - Sorry was busy today. What happens when you press the rubber nipple in the middle? Does the Delete key work then using the viewer to see it.
