SOLVED - kind of... I contacted the support email address on the XMG website, but after a few days, with no reply, I found a Reddit group for XMG laptops and there was a user there called "besteware", saying they were the official support for Clevo/Schenker/XMG computers. I contacted them. They replied quite quickly, but said because the laptop was so old, they no longer supported it. Sorry. Then, I had a flash of genius! 💡 I rarely every use the [ ´ ] key that puts accents above letters, so... I moved it to where the S should be. Et voila! I can now type half-decently again! The later that day, I get an email from XMG support telling me how I can order parts...

Well, if you visit the site and speak a language not on the list, then I look forward to your contribution 😉

Just found this forum when I looked for anyone who uses Clevo/XMG laptops, as the one I have just acquired is missing the "S" key - yes, typing this isn't fast... I pretty much stopped using desktops nigh on 20-years ago. Stopped using Windows for a bit longer. I'm now using a ten year old XMG P170EM, which has just replaced a DELL LATITUDE E5430. I use Linux Lite (6.6 at the moment), a distro that I have used since release 2.8 (2016). So, yeah, that's pretty much it.

I have just "inherited" an XMG P170EM from one of my boys. It's a million types better than the old Dell I was using. However, the "S" keycap is missing. In the past I have repaired laptop keyboards by buying keycaps. However, there are different types. In the past it was easy, as the laptops were IBM/Lenovo. Does anyone know what to specify for when I order a new one for the XMG? Thanks.
