Apologies, the link you gave was overprinted by some obscure text, I have now followed the link and ordered a full set of key caps to replace the whole keyboard, hopefully next week I should be back in business, many thanks and also my thanks to all the other helpful responders.

Apologies for any confusion, what I want are the key caps to replace the ones where the letters are almost invisible, I have a Ducky keyboard with MX blue switches, I have a cap puller that was supplied with the keyboard when new, however no one seems to stock replacement key caps, it is a shame...

I am afraid that they confirmed in a telephone call today that they do not stock key pads, the quest goes on!

I am looking to find a supplier of replacement key pads for some worn keys on my Ducky mechanical keyboard, so far enquiries with local dealers seem very vague regarding this subject. Ideally I would prefer them to be PBT and black, but beggars can't be choosers as they say. I am reluctant to...

Sorry Spyder Tracks Same response applies as to my reply to Tony, thanks for your reply, kind regards, Mike

Hi Tony I prefer normal, and regards budget, although I do not want to pay an arm and a leg, but am happy to pay a reasonable price for a good reliable keyboard, one item I would like but it is not a deal breaker is a USB port built into the keyboard, look forward to your...

Having issues with a very old mechanical keyboard that has now seen better days, I am looking to purchase a replacement, I am not a gamer, but use my keyboard extensively for word processing as well as database and spreadsheet inputting. I prefer to have a wired keyboard, but am looking for a...

I am afraid I have no license key on my invoice and neither have I received an email with details of registering my software, so looks like I am stuck with no Microsoft Office until such time as I can get in touch with PCS by telephone.

I have now set up my new laptop and monitor, but am at a loss as to how I now activate my the Microsoft Office 2019 that I purchased, unlike years ago when you had DVD's I am totally at a loss as to how to go about avtivating a product that I do not even have a product key for, also where will I...

I think that when I have finished transferring all my bits and pieces over to my new laptop I will make sure that the hibernation function is disabled, and will also investigate that potential option to have a keyboad key assigned to switch on the laptop, if I do discover a method to do it I...

Hi, that is reassuring as I am into new territory in using a laptop in place of a desktop, I have always in the past turned off the desktop and switched off at the mains after use so that is certainly something that I will continue to do with the laptop. Of course using a separate external...

I have a new laptop being built by PCS to replace my old PCS desktop PC and am hoping for any advice regarding any potential issues that I may face regarding the battery, as I intend to run it almost permanently off the mains. I have a mesh rack to keep the laptop on, I hope that should allow...

Hi everyone, just an update on the thread, during the weekend and also today I followed the advice given to download a free version of Windows 10, which I have now successfully completed on my old Windows 7 Laptop, and also my 6 year old PC Specialist Desktop PC. And as far as I am concerned all...

Thanks again for all the additional advice, re Windows 10, and also Office 365, I somehow have my doubts as to whether Office Professional 2007 will work with Windows 10, but this weekend will provide the answer, I am indebted to everyone who have proved so helpful in such a positive way...

Thanks for all the very helpful replies, I will obviously now go down the route of upgrading to Windows 10, it will be a weekend job when I have got lots of time to follow the no doubt long process, again many thanks for everyones help, regards, Mike
