I’ve done a lot of typing in my life, starting as a toddler on my dad’s 1960s Olivetti. These days it’s all digital and while I do write the odd letter or two, computers simplify the task of typing texts due to the ability to edit them to your heart’s content.
But keyboards do fail, eventually, especially if you use them to play video games as well. The “S” key on a Logi (former Logitech) MX Keys keyboard gave up the old ghost during a non-standard cleaning procedure. The fault was all mine; using too much force and the wrong key extracting equipment, I managed to break off its small plastic tabs.
I had two options: Spend $120 on a new MX Keys keyboard or get a replacement key. That’s right, a single key extracted from another keyboard that someone sells. Google searches pointed me to ReplacementLaptopKeys.com, a facility in California that has been providing this service since 2005. For $10 I got the job done.
These folks have a lot of inventory catering to many brands and models so check them out. Here’s a photo of the replacement key and the envelope with the domain name “ReplacementLaptopKeys.com” on it, in yet another instance of a domain sighting. 🙂
What’s a “domain sighting,” you may ask.
It’s when we encounter domain names in the real world, that appear on vehicle wraps and signs, billboards and business signs, and product packaging. For convenience, we group them into .com domain sightings, and other ccTLDs, gTLDs and TLDs.
