Dealing with Stuck Keys in Your Laptop Keyboard

Isn’t it frustrating to have a stuck key or broken key on your laptop? Like for example, when you try to hit a stuck letter “S” you will get a line or two of Ss. Another thing that is frustrating about this is that when you try to replace a stuck key with a new one, it is quite expensive. For MacBooks for example, you can get individual stuck keys for $15 to $20 per key. So, most people with this kind of problem just buys a new keyboard because it costs a little more than buying pieces of keys plus it decreases the chance of having more stuck keys than they already have.
