I have a Gateway Vista for over a year and two of my buttons already popped off. I can't find any replacement keys and I was hoping if anyone is willing to help. If anyone knows where to get Gateway Vista Home Premium replacement keys please e-mail me. I would be very grateful. Thank you.

How about moving a seldom-used key from somewhere else on the board? It's a pain of your "e" is missing, maybe not so bad if "~" is missing. Just a thought..

Well, iam afraid that i have not a solution to your problem, but to add the very same problem too. I got exactly the same accident with this tiny white nylon retainer of the "ctrl" key, after a cleaning session, trying to put the key in place i broke it.. Please if you find a solution (i call no solution the purshase of a complete new and genuine keyboard of 110 euros, as a guy suggested) let me know.
