Apple Replacement Keys

[Naztyb]

Hi

Can anyone help me in finding a place to buy replacement keys for an Apple MacBook Pro 15". Due to a little mishap I'm missing 8 keys (or just the little black alphabet cap). I've tried they iStore etc and apparently I cant get it form them and have to pay in the region of R3200 for a replacement keyboard! Insane!!! I dont need an entire body with keyboard as it works without any problems

I doubt you find anything locally;

This UK company provides this; maybe they can ship you the missing key caps -- in their contact details, they appear open to international business.

Another one to try (US company): http://www.laptopkey.com. Appears cheaper than the UK company and also ships internationally.

Found one more US company:

Good luck

Ps don't be too concerned about international shipping (work on VAT and ~7% duty re additional costs not factored into any quotes from these sites)

I broke one of my keys on my 2011 15" MacBook Pro (my fault - i tried to lift the key to remove dirt under it and snapped the clip)

I took my MBP down to Apples4Apples in Durban. They fitted the new key (tab key) for free in about 2 minutes. How much ? for free, gratis.....no questions asked
