    Key-caps are what you want, caps for keys.

    Hey,

    It's a Toshiba, one with white keys. I'm not majorly bothered by getting black/non-matching in terms of colour), but they're the only single ones on Ebay and Amazon that I've come up with anyway. I'd be delighted with getting white ones, or, if they mustn't match, I'd love hot pink ones. I know, I'm totally not fussy, and completely non specific. ;)

    My 'I' and 'D' keys snapped off when I was trying to get a bit of dirt from under them rolleyes:

    Oh! Does anyone know a handy place to buy keyboard cover things? Saw them on Ebay/Amazon today, and the hot pink ones are mad, like :) But! My Toshiba's 'Enter' key is L-shaped, and all the Toshiba ones on there specifically said "won't fit if your computer has an L-shaped enter key". Calling all you lovely, quirky, technology-loving geeks for all the informations! Cheers :)

    Nope, can vary by model.

    i know with the dell ones they can be slightly different even on same models and going by how things tech can change i would be very surprised if they are all the same ...
