However, if you already know which solution you'd like to go with, select it from the list below and follow the instructions.

Online retailer

For the most part, the fastest and most efficient way to remedy the problem is to visit an online retailer. If you have a desktop, it's highly unlikely that you'll be able to locate single keys and will probably need to replace it with a purchase from Amazon. For laptop computers, places like Laptop-keys.com have a very wide selection. In some instances, you can contact the keyboard manufacturer or, if it's a laptop the laptop manufacturer for a replacement. Unfortunately, in almost all situations it's necessary to replace the keyboard since most manufacturers do not have single keys available for purchase. However, many laptop companies offer keyboard key kits, which contain many of the parts necessary to fix their keyboards.

Swap keyboard keys

If the manufacturer does not have replacement keys or kits available, and there is a keyboard key that you don't frequently use, consider swapping them it. You can exchange any two keys that are the same size. For example, if your "H" key were sticking or lost, you could replace it the Windows menu key. Local computer repair shops often replace and fix keyboards on laptops. They may have spare broken keyboards that they'd be willing to let you have or use for spare keys. Additionally, many keyboards and other spare parts are sold on eBay and other auction sites, check these pages for replacements. Notice If this is a laptop key, keycap, or key component, make sure you're getting a key or keyboard that is compatible with your model of laptop. There are many different laptop keyboards and they are not all compatible.

Replace worn key stickers

If you need to replace a key because it's worn out, consider purchasing a keyboard sticker set instead of replacing the key entirely.

What key is Mozart in?

G minor G minor has been considered the key through which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart best expressed sadness and tragedy, and many of his minor key works are in G minor. Though Mozart touched on various minor keys in his symphonies, G minor is the only minor key he used as a main key for his numbered symphonies.

G minor has been considered the key through which Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart best expressed sadness and tragedy,[1] and many of his minor key works are in G minor. Though Mozart touched on various minor keys in his symphonies, G minor is the only minor key he used as a main key for his numbered symphonies. In the Classical period, symphonies in G minor almost always used four horns, two in G and two in B♭ alto.[2] Another convention of G minor symphonies observed in Mozart's No. 25 and No. 40 was the choice of the subdominant of the relative key (B♭ major), E♭ major, for the slow movement; other non-Mozart examples of this practice include J. C. Bach Opus 6 No. 6 from 1769, Haydn's No. 39 (1768/69) and Johann Baptist Wanhal's G minor symphony sometime before 1771 (Bryan Gm1).[3] Isolated sections in this key within Mozart's compositions may also evoke an atmosphere of grand tragedy, one example being the stormy G minor middle section to the otherwise serene B♭ major slow movement in the Piano Concerto No. 20.
