Wallstreet replacement keys?
Posted by: EvieSigma on 2017-02-18 20:31:44
I got a Wallstreet today but one key has its rubber dome missing, and replacing the whole key would probably be more effective than trying to get just a rubber dome...

Does anyone either have spare Wallstreet keys or know where I can get some?

Just did a quick eBay search and there are two complete keyboards listed for 15-20 dollars if you're in the U.S.

Well that certainly helps.

I'm guessing there's nothing I can shove in there to fake the rubber dome?

Let me see if I have a junk keyboard left.

Another donor laptop keyboard of similar size/era should let you replace the dome - cut it out with a scalpel/fine blade and use thin double sided tape to tape it down into the missing space.  I've done this before.  Another thing to try would be a small piece of foam.

Alright, I could certainly try foam.

I'm waiting on an AC adapter to make sure the thing works before I make any kind of further investment though. It might end up being a parts machine to upgrade another Wallstreet...

Nope, if I had any they got recycled.
