Magic Keyboard key not working

Starting today, one key on my Magic Keyboard is not working. I am guessing that it may have some crud stuck underneath it. I've tried scraping around underneath the key with a paperclip, to no avail. Is there is good way to clean it?

Mac mini, macOS 14.4

Here's what Apple provides on this topic. Unfortunately, it doesn't provide much about how to best clean the keyboard's keys.


Apple wireless or USB keyboards, mice, and trackpads


First, power off the device. If your device uses removable batteries, remove the batteries. (If your device is wired, simply unplug it from your computer.)


Next, clean the outside of your device with a lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water. Don't get moisture in any openings or use aerosol sprays, solvents, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide.
