Replacement Key
I was very impressed with the replacement key I got from replacementlaptopkeys.com. I had one of my keys break off - so that they key was unusable but the hinge and the cup were still intact. I was able to just use the key without needing to replace the hinge and the cup. The new key just snapped back on.
They were prompt with their shipping and I was much happier with their response time (~3 days) than a previous company that I had tried (the previous company did not send me the correct type of key).
