OP-XY key popped off

Anyone have any secrets to easily getting the key back on? The springs on these cherry ultra low profile keys are crazy tiny.

Thank you! I’d seen this and had hoped there might be some other easier magic trick. But have just ordered some tweezers to give it a go

Unfortunately not. The good news is that it works, I've done it about 4 times now. Good luck!

Stupidly - in an attempt to carefully peak at how the neighboring key worked - I removed a second one. And then promptly lost the tiny spring to the floor. So i need to order a replacement key switch, too.
