I recently had to replace one of the keys on my MacBook Pro (early 2011).
After replacing the key, it sticks out from all the other keys (it's slightly more elevated than the rest). It works, but it looks kinda bad.
Is there any way to fix it?
EDIT: I've tried the old "paper under the key"-trick, but it doesn't seem to work.
EDIT 2: Ok, so after A LOT of fiddling around, I finally managed to solve it
There's a small metal retainer on the bottom of the scissor mechanism. I took a small flat screwdriver and pressed down on it a little bit, while the mechanism was in place. This somehow made the entire key fit deeper into the case, and now it looks exactly like the other CMD button, yay!
I sure hope I won't have to remove/replace any more keys in the future...
