    You can't just buy a key, you have to get one from the keyboard they don't make them seperately, your best bet is to get one 2nd hand, try the local computer shops and eBay.

    Actually you can buy keys individually.

    I have used http://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/ before, came within a few days absolutely no complaints would use them again.

    Are the keys taken from new keyboards? I wasn't aware of any of the manufacturers making keys separate from keyboards.

    Hi Joseph

    Do the keys comes from the US. I notice that they are priced in US$. Key may take some time?. They seem to say that eventhough the model is the same the keyboards produced by different vendors may vary. Will I have a problem? Thanks a mill.
