o_0 Awesome. But not really.
Huh. Well, on the one hand, if you lose a key it's good to have a replacement source. On the other hand, $3 for a single key? I could buy a replacement keyboard and sell off all the keys for a huge profit! :P

What you do is buy letters to spell something out or just all the same letter and replace someone's keyboard with them. Imagine how pissed someone would be if their keyboard was the Trololo song instead of the qwerty layout? lol

How do you go about losing a key in the first place? I wonder how big his market is... :think:
I've seen it a few times...you might be surprised the stupid things that people do with their laptops...

I left my dell with my mother for a weekend, she left the lid open and the cats ripped off 90% of the keys... still missing the left windows key:facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:

In my case, I was getting pissed off that my "-" key would not work and after pounding on just that key I said F--- it and pounded on the keyboard a couple of times. Broke the tilt legs and sent 80% of the keys all over my cube. Took me a couple of days to find all the keys and the "-" key worked for another day then died. I got the final laugh when I rode over that POS with the forklift....

Thanks for the laugh and the sigquote Terry!

I've came across tons of "broken" laptops on craigslist with missing keys. If I could spend 3 bucks for 1 or 2 keys I'd do it rather than having to buy an entire replacement for 20-30 (which I've had to do before for 3 missing keys)

Or you could buy the new one, and sell the keys off of the old keyboard for $3 each.
