Update: my spacebar died mid email at the kitchen table and I fixed it with a twist tie from a bread bag

I was typing a long message to my boss on Tuesday night when the spacebar on my board went dead, and every word started running together into one giant blob. I popped the cap off and found the wire had come loose from the little clip, so I looped a twist tie through it and it has held up for 4 days now. Is there a better fix for a loose stab wire that won't look so janky, or should I just resolder the whole thing?
