Is it easy to buy new keyboard letters ( to replace missing letters) and is it easy to fix them in place?

they tend to cost around 2 pounds for each key cap so if you need a few might be worth pricing a full keyboard up, providing the fixing (the bit underneath the key usually 2 bits of plastic) is intact its a simple case of popping them on, if the fixing is damaged or missing it can be quite fiddly to put back on, best to pop of an ajacent keycap to see how it works, also check you get the correct fixings, the same model of laptop can have different types.

ThaNKS. Individual letters appear like hens teeth. It seems (unless you know different) that the only option is to buy another secondhand keypad and try removing the letters needed. I have found another key pad but not for the same model I am hoping that the letters will be the same size though the keypad takes a different form!
And now i just need a charger and just my luck theres a choice.
