Cannot find missing CTRL key replacement for Logitech G513 Carbon!

sticker

Hi,

For the life of me I Cannot find a left CTRL key replacement for Logitech G513 Carbon! Logitech say they are out of stock for a month!

Anyone know of a place to find one?!

Thanks!

It's just a standard Cherry MX-stem so any 1.25u keycap should work.

Thanks - Any recommendations as to where to source one quick? Can't seem to find one in a quick search.

Pretty sure a lot of the logitech mechanical keyboards have issues with proprietary key stems(romer-g keyboards) and non standard keycap sizes like the ctrl/tab and other bottom row functions.

I'm pretty sure this one has both.

This one shows the difference in keystems in one of the photos.

G513 SEEMS TO USE GX switches, not Romer-G.
Best bet would be to take another keycap off - if it has a cross, it's Cherry MX.

@OP
Not sure where you'd get a single keycap for cheap, but this is a full keycap set for £11-12: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Feicuan-Universal-Colorful-Replacement-Mechanical-Gray/dp/B0736LBL4M/ref=sr_1_16?crid=P7QNPJKH98KQ&dchild=1&keywords=1.25u%2Bkeycap&qid=1593775038&sprefix=1.25u%2Caps%2C149&sr=8-16&th=1
Might as well get a different colour to standard black so you can have a nice effect, e.g. like mine:

1.5u CTRL so a 1.25u (standard) should fit, just have a gap.

Thanks! - Its a heavily used key! Can't believe the manufacturer has no stock for a month!

That would set off my OCD.

Hold up, I should've clarified this to start with:

Is your CTRL key broken, or missing?

Oh, that is a Romer-G switch!

Sorry, don't buy that keycap set above.

Can't think of anywhere who would have these for fast delivery.

You'd likely need to buy from China:

I'll have a look in my G413 box tomorrow and see if there's a spare. If there is I'll pop it in the post on Monday.

Hmmm where you based OP?

Looks like a G910 CTRL key would fit. I got a warranty replacement G910 recently and they didn't take the original one back.

Do you use right control, right alt etc as much? Just swap one of them over until you get a replacement?

Doesn't fit. Different sizes...
