[Repairs] Repairing Keyboard Covers

[Tim Swast]

Hello,

I am the Technology Specialist for the University of Wisconsin—Madison
One Laptop Per Child student organization. We are working with local
elementary schools and doing after-school education using the XO
laptops. It is my responsibility to maintain the laptops, so they
remain in working order.

Right now, our biggest problem is that the rubber letters get ripped
off and lost. Pressing where the key used to be still works, but the
rubber "key" is gone. According to the "field repairs" article in the
wiki, I should be able to salvage 60% of the rubber keyboards by
ripping off keys from other broken keyboards and attaching them with
adhesive. Also, I could purchase a whole new keyboard.

My question is if anyone know how one could acquire just the rubber
piece of the keyboards? It'd be nice to get only the parts that I
need, rather than spending $20 on a new keyboard.
