    The paint on my key caps has chipped on the majority of my keys because of my nails, some to the point where you can't even make out the letter anymore, all that's visible is the keyboard light color with some black on there. I don't need to replace anything but the plastic caps, and unfortunately this isn't covered under the warrenty since it's cosmetic. Anyone know where I can get repalcements that don't cost some ridiculous amount? Or any alternative key cap options for the M15x? Since the some of the caps are shot to hell anyways I'm thinking about removing the paint from all of them and just replacing the alphanumerical letters with Lexan decals. Ideas? This is pretty silly, but I'm really anal about keeping my electronics immaculate. Thanks.

    I think the easiest thing would probably be to replace the whole keyboard if you don't mind opening up your machine (it's really not that bad). I'm on my iPhone now but I'll try to find the site that has a bunch of replacement parts.
