My "W" and "E" came off... tried snapping them back in, but they fell off right away if pressure was applied to the bottom of the key.

Upon closer inspection, this old (and dirt cheap) BenQ keyboard uses a laptop-like mechanism - 2 metal hooks at the top, and one tiny metal "tongue" at the bottom. Under each key, two tiny plastic pieces form a X-shaped hinge, holding onto the "tongue" with a horizontal bar and two tiny "pincers" to hold onto the two hooks.

The plastic pincers were a bit out-of-shape (pun intended), so they came right off if pulled. So I pried off scroll lock and pause/break, and switched the plastic hinges.

That should last me a bit longer... but I'm one of those crazy incredibly-talented people who prefer to use a QWERT keyboard for combo-heavy fighting games. And buttons Q and A are starting to feel a bit wobbly.

Time for a new one:
- Price is not a concern if the product is durable (last for years).
- Like some feedback when pressing.
- Ability to press lots of buttons at the same time is a must. The more the merrier.
- But prefer quieter ones.
- Fancy features not important, but wouldn't mind them if they are not intrusive.

Any suggestions?
