    I searched a bit for this and the cheapest place I found sold replacement keys for $9.99/each key.

    Is there any place on the internet that sell MSI keys for less than that?

    Which model do you have. For that price you may want to look at getting a whole new keyboard. If they price isnt too far off, doing that would get you a whole set of extra keys just incase you need them in the future.

    Best to contact your local MSI office directly.

    Key caps are rarely sold standalone, which would explain the high mark-up/price you found (supply and demand).

    It may be more practical to get the entire keyboard replaced. Check with MSI or your reseller about a replacement keyboard (the system will likely need to be sent in for this).

    Manufacturers only sell the entire keyboard as one item, therefore each key cap isn't independent on its own.
