I wasn't as gentle as I should have been while popping out the spacebar on my MacBook Pro and the white plastic parts (2 for the entire key, 6 total) and am having a hell of a time putting them together so I can put the key back on. I've searched forever for a decent photo of how they go, but to no avail.

Basically I'm wondering if the square-ish part goes under the round-ish part which goes through it. It's very hard to explain and I can add a few photos to help illustrate.

Any input is appreciated

Hi ellada,

the scissors assembly you're talking about can really only be assembled correctly in one way - the whole thing has to lie flat when the key is depressed, and the two outer pins have to be up to snap into the keycap. There's a metal hook as a part of the keyboard that the scissors has to hook on, so that flat that goes under the hook must be on the bottom so as to hook properly.

when the key isn't pressed, how are they to be assembled?
