    Hello Tom's Hardware forum users, Today I have been experiencing a fairly annoying problem. My "A" key is very loose, and keeps popping off if you press it from the top of the key. The bottom hooks aren't strong enough to retain the key in its position. Another user had this exact same issue on...
