    I have a laptop, an MSI CR610 to be precise which has had its right shift key removed and broken :(

    Just wondered if anyone knew if its possible to get a replacement and if so where to get one from?

    Thanks :)

    Call the manufacturer. They'll likely tell you that they don't replace individual keys and that it isn't a user-replaceable part.

    You need to replace the keyboard. If the key fell, usually the holding mechanism is also broken. And no manufacture will send you just 1 key. They usually sell laptop keyboard (directly fro, the manufacture) at about 80-150$ U.S, depending o their quality and if it's a backlit keyboard or not.
