    You can buy the caps online, if the internal clip is missing/broken you may have to replace the keyboard: https://laptopkey.com/

    If you're missing keys on your keyboard, there are a few options to consider:

    1. Check the Immediate Surroundings:
      • Before looking for replacement keys, check the immediate surroundings of your keyboard. Sometimes keys can fall off and end up nearby.
    2. Look for the Missing Keys:
      • Search the area around your desk and keyboard for the missing keys. They might have fallen onto the floor or into crevices nearby.
    3. Contact the Manufacturer:
      • If your keyboard is still under warranty or if you purchased it recently, consider reaching out to the manufacturer's customer support. They might be able to provide replacement keys or direct you to an authorized service center.
    4. Buy Replacement Keys:
      • You can purchase replacement keys from third-party websites that specialize in selling individual keycaps. Make sure to get the correct keycap size and type for your specific keyboard model.
    5. Replace the Entire Keyboard:
      • If you're unable to find individual replacement keys or if multiple keys are missing or damaged, you might consider replacing the entire keyboard. This is a more straightforward solution, and you can find a variety of keyboards at different price points.
    6. Visit a Local Electronics Store:
      • Some electronics stores or repair shops may carry replacement keys or keycap sets. Check with local stores to see if they have the specific keys you need.
    7. Use On-Screen Keyboard:
      • As a temporary solution, you can use the on-screen keyboard that comes with your operating system. This virtual keyboard allows you to input characters using your mouse or touchpad.

    When purchasing replacement keys, ensure that they are compatible with your specific keyboard model. Keyboard designs can vary, and keys may have different shapes and attachment mechanisms. If you're unsure, refer to your keyboard's documentation or contact the manufacturer for guidance.
