    I have been using HP Business laptops for a couple of years. In all my laptops after a year or so the rubber buttons wear off/tear. Is it possible to somehow replace the rubber without changing the touchpad.
    Models i am talking about are 6530b, 6510b, etc.

    Thanks for the info. Very good idea to swap the buttons.

    I/Family has had 4 HP laptops. In all within around a year the touchpad rubber seems to peel and eventually develop holes.

    Kinda sucks but guess can live with it.
