    As above.

    Does anyone know how to stick it back on?

    Everything seems to be still there and it's working grand when I push it. But I just can't seem to clip the plastic thing back on.

    How often do you really need to type Q anyway. It'd be much worse if you lost a vowel. Just replace it with kw where necessary e.g. kwueen, kwuiet, kwuota etc. Just as good.

    If you read my OP I say it works grand when I push it.

    it's the plastic casing (if you will) that came off, and won't clip back in.

    The letter Q is useless anyway. There are fcuk all words that don't need a U after it.

    Just use 'kw' instead and stop being a kweer asking stupid kwestions

    Turn the keyboard around and use the "p" key :pac:

    (or use the ascii code. Might be a bit awkward but hey...)

    I took out another couple of keys to compare.

    The little clips broke on the Q one :(

    And so ends the tale of the Q key.

    Rather than put it back on the keyboard straight away, you could pin it to your lapel.

    This is a good way to impress James Bond fans at parties, who will automatically assume you work for the British Government in a technical/R&D capacity and have forgotten to take your security badge off.

    It was a Quiet day in the factory
    we decided to have a Quiz.
    For each correct answer we received a Quid
    Quite good I thought.
    It was also the Queen's birthday
    Quigley the boss shouted
    Quit what your'e doing
    Go out and get a good quality card
    Take the Quad
    It's parked beside the Quay
    And be Quick about it
    The ducks said Quack Quack as I passed
    The Queue in the shop was a mile long
    Trust me to get stuck behind some Quare fella
    Looking for Quail's eggs
    And a woman looking for a book on how to make a quilt
    All this on my quest to get a quality card for the Queen

    OP Throw the Q in the bin you'll never miss it

    My top tip of the day !

    If you ever lose the Q key from your keyboard simply remove the letter O and carefully paint a little squiggle in the bottom right hand corner of it and place it where the Q was.

    Sorted :)

    And replace the O with a 0, as alot of keyboards have two 0s.

    This is a common problem.
    Just take out a key that you rarely rarely use, like one of the Delete keys. You can manage with one Delete key.
    Then put the Q where that Delete key was and it will work no bother.
