    Hey,

    My E key just popped of and one of the little plastic hinges that holds it is broken :mad:.
    So I was wondering if anyone knew where you can get a replacement key for the M17xR4? Preferably in Europe to avoid high shipping costs.

    Thanks :)

    I am searching Ebay And I see a few for an R2....I have no idea if they are the same but they look identical to my R4 that I am using right now, might need to look up some part numbers. The whole keyboard on ebay is going for $30-$50 depending on the seller and they both offer free shipping.

    Might be worth it to look into the part numbers and just go that route.
