    I have a rubber keyboard, and a few keys are ripped off. Apparently its a single piece keyboard without separate keys. I assume there is no way to repair it?

    Now i know why you guys hate this keyboard, it is horrible i cannot type on it. My emissive is amazing, but a friend who does auto wants the rubber.

    Which model do you need a rubber keyboard for? You're right, you can't repair them.

    I've heard others say that any number of repair attempts on these failed because the repair didn't hold up. Usually in cleaning attempts and a little agressive scrubbing they get ripped off. someone may have a cure for the silicone skin or you might just find one to go over the whole keyboard but time spent vs. money spent...Driller

    There is a thread on this somewhere but could not find it. I remember that many used different glues to fix it but in time it came apart
