Removing your laptop keys is possible but should be done as infrequently as possible to prevent the keys from malfunctioning. However, if something is spilled on the laptop, removing some or all keys to clean underneath them will be necessary.
If the manufacturer does not have replacement keys or kits available, and there is a keyboard key that you don’t frequently use, consider swapping them it. You can exchange any two keys that are the same size. For example, if your “H” key were sticking or lost, you could replace it the Windows menu key.
