Where can I find a replacement for a keyboard key?

Whether you've lost, broken or worn out a key or keycap on a keyboard you have a few options. The solutions range in price and difficulty, so we recommend checking out each section. 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.

Minor key based on D-flat

D-flat minor is a theoretical key based on D♭, consisting of the pitches D♭, E♭, F♭, G♭, A♭, B♭♭, and C♭. Its key signature has six flats and one double flat. Its relative major is F-flat major, which is usually replaced by E major. Its parallel major is D-flat major, and its direct enharmonic equivalent, C-sharp minor, is normally used.

The D-flat natural minor scale is:

Mahler's thematic motif "der kleine Appell" ("call to order") from his Fourth and Fifth Symphonies uses both notations: in his Symphony No. 4 (first movement) it is in D-flat minor, but in his Symphony No. 5 it is in C-sharp minor. In the Adagio of his Symphony No. 9, a solo bassoon interpolation following the main theme appears first in D-flat minor, returning twice more notated in C-sharp minor. Likewise, in the Adagio of Bruckner's Symphony No. 8, phrases that are tonally in D-flat minor are notated as C-sharp minor.[2][3][4][5]
