Yes, it's worth a try. I have taken it off and cleaned the schmutz (sp? )
underneath it, which helped for a few days then the problem returned.
BUT your comments about the snap fit are correct HOWEVER I want to warn the
list 2 things...
First, be observant of the orientation of the scissors-mount. You will see
what I mean when you pop the key off.
AND be very careful. I have broken them and had to get some Brit ( Hi,
Neil! ) to send me some spares. But they were backwards in color!
