R32 Keys on R40 Keyboard?

#1 Post by hwolfe » Thu Sep 14, 2006 6:35 am

Hi all,

My toddler son pulled some keys off of my R40 when I wasn't looking. I managed to snap them all back in except for the left shfit key - some of the plastic broke on that one so that it won't stay in.

So, I'm looking for a replacement key cap. I found some on ebay from an R32 keyboard at $4 per cap shipped. Does anyone know if these would fit the R40 keyboard? The alternative is to buy an entire R40 keyboard assembly, which will cost me $50.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Some of the R3*/R4* keyboard keys are interchangeable.

If I remember correctly... :D

Thanks for the reply. I actually found an R40 keyboard on ebay with a missing function keycap and won it for 99 cents. Replaced my broken one with the new one (it was in better shape) and switched out the function caps. So happy ending to my little problem... So, if anyone needs some R40 keycaps...
