It's a great keyboard! Except for the reliability. Even small bits of dust or other dirt can easily prevent a key from working, and if you're not able to clean it from the outside, you're SOL and need a $400 keyboard replacement because individual keys cannot be removed without breaking them (unlike previous generations).

They can be removed, but with the hooks and clamps you need to be careful and know the right technique.

They’re glued and can’t be placed back if taken. There’s no hooks or clamps, I think you’re thinking of the older keyboards.

I know this firsthand as I’ve removed one key. It’s now lose on the keyboard but mostly works anyway. Still, I have no love for this keyboard, 4-5 keys are semi stuck and have been for some time.

Ooops, I meant the keycaps.
