how do you replace keys microsoft sculpt keyboard

Help! I can't seem to figure out how to replace 2 keys on a Microsoft ergonomic "scupt keyboard". It's maddening-NOTHING on the MS site!

It may not be so easy, those things use the same connections as laptop keyboards. The clips may broken so they keys may not even click in.

The "clips" are not broken. I have both parts for the key. I can't believe there is NO information from Microsoft on this matter...probably throwaway. There most expensive keyboard, a key comes off and throw it away...ughhh, Microsoft

This site tries to sell Sculpt keyboard replacement key parts, but I also found its instructions helpful simply for removing, cleaning, and replacing keys (without buying stuff).

In my case, I was afraid that I would never be able to reattach my right spacebar key to its two hinges, but all I needed to do was lay the hinges flat, center the key over them, and press down. The key reattached to both hinges.
