You should be able to buy one from Unicomp.  Find their number from their site and call them about it.

I am aware of that.

$10 minimum is usually the problem.

I want to pick up a few keys (ESC and WASD, maybe). If you're interested in grouping orders, I can have them shipped to my address and then send it out. How much is each key?

I actually have some that are already dyed, if you want them. I have a red, a yellow, and a purple, I believe that aren't currently in use. They are currently packed up, so I can't take any pictures of them for you, and they won't be available for nearly a month. I'm not sure how long you are willing to wait, though.

Just thought I would mention it, since they are already dyed, and they wouldn't have to be shipped overseas.

Edit: Oh, and just to mention, I'm about to make a large order from Unicomp, so tacking on an extra space bar wouldn't be an issue, if you want a new one.

Also, I hate how slow this forum's text entry is on older hardware. It's laggy like none other.
