I have a problem with my Keyboard. My letter " " is missi g. I really sort of eed it. Typi g thi gs without it has become rather a oyi g.

Lol okay seriously, The letter "N" on my keyboard is rubbed off. Its been slowly disintegrating for a few months now. If I go to an Apple store, will they have some extra "n" keys lying around that I could have? or do they only replace entire keyboards? I only need to know because a trip to the Apple Store for me is a two day trip because I'd have to drive several hours to the nearest one.

Lol, use a sharpie

You probably would just get a whole new keyboard. I havent heard of any stores just carrying random keys. Who knows. You could try calling them.

I've seen individual keys seen before, but never by Apple or an Apple authorized retailer.

A quick search and I find there's a guy on ebay who sells iBook keys of your choice. $2.85 US per key, plus shipping I'd assume.

But really, many keys on my keyboard look like that. Doesn't really affect anything personally. I once took out all the keys of my keyboard to clean all the dust and junk that gets stuck under them, and at first I started putting them back in order, but it was taking too long and I never look at the keyboard anyway so I just decided to put them anywhere to save time. Didn't make a difference...at least to me. Many other people who ever happen to use my computer now have some trouble with it

. Maybe I should just buy one of these next time.
