Optional but handy: the spudger lifts the key without scratching or bending the mechanism, and the thin blade of the flat screwdriver unhooks the plastic hinge and helps clip it back in.

About the Backspace replacement key
A replacement Backspace key for the Logitech MX Keys, supplied with its hinge: a key used all day long, replaced on its own rather than with a new keyboard. We take the Backspace key from dismantled keyboards: it is a genuine, pre-owned Logitech cap, sold without the dome.
Compatibility
This Backspace keycap fits the full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTY (US) layout. The MX Keys Mini has its own proportions for this key, so this cap is not meant for it.
The Backspace key: position, size and wear
The Backspace key is a control key that is held or struck all day long, alongside the letters. It is struck with a sweeping movement, seldom dead centre. On a cap this wide, an off-centre press loads only one side of the scissor hinge: that side is the one that splits, and the Backspace key then leans towards it or catches. The longer the key, the more a press at one end acts as a lever.
How to install it
Lift the old Backspace cap by one end, remove the damaged hinge and clip in the one supplied. If a metal wire sits under the key, hook it into its clips first; then press the centre, then each end, until the Backspace key sits flush and springs back evenly.
Backspace key — questions
- Is the Backspace key compatible with my MX Keys keyboard?
- Yes, if it is a full-size MX Keys (MX Keys, MX Keys S and MX Keys for Mac) in the QWERTY (US) layout: the Backspace key has exactly this shape there. Not on the MX Keys Mini, where this key has other proportions.
- Is the hinge included with the Backspace key?
- Yes, the X-shaped hinge comes with the Backspace key — it is often the part that broke. Only the rubber dome is not supplied: it stays in place on the keyboard under the Backspace key, and domes are sold in packs among our spare parts.
- My Backspace key feels loose or uneven after fitting — what should I check?
- Take the Backspace cap off again and check that the hinge is clipped onto all its anchor points; if a metal wire sits under the key, make sure it is engaged in its clips. Then press the centre of the Backspace key before its ends.

You are looking at a Logitech key. Keycap and hinge differ between brands: this key will not fit an Apple keyboard.
