Thank you for your reply.

Yes, the original keycap came off after I dropped the mouse on it :(. One of the tiny tabs broke off the keycap.

I did purchased a new one online and it came with both a keycap and scissor clip.

I made the mistake to trying to replace both the scissor clip and keycap combination. The scissor clip will not stay in place and will pop off.

@Sun Lam - Inspect the pins and make sure the metal tangs of the frame are not damaged or bent. Otherwise its time for a new set of parts.
