  When cleaning keycaps on real IBM PC keyboards (5150),
all of the keys
 EXCEPT the space bar pop off easily.  But if you remove the space bar,
 than reassembly of the space bar is more work than the combined total of
 the other keys. 
The OmniKey's space bar is a bit more difficult to take off and
reattach too.

So when reassembling, do the big keys with supporting widgetry first.
You may find it helps to do this before putting the keyboard back in
its shell too, especially for the space bar which is right up against
the shell.
