No, I don;t ahve any spares... But one thing to watch for on this design 
of keyboard [1] is that the keycaps become loose and fall off because of 
a ceack in the square tubualr key plunger. So you might want to replace 
that as well. Most of the time oyu cna still use the old plunger (the key 
doesn't stick down or anything), if you are careful about not losing keycaps.
