    Tried a search here and google with no results.

    Our "W" key keeps coming off, any ideas on how to keep it on?

    You could try eBay or parts-people
    Maybe on eBay it's easier because you'll might find a seller close to you.
    And don't have the hassle with taxes/shipping etc.
    Good luck!
