$10 at NewEgg. $5-15 at Amazon. but the keycaps on the Model M are among the easiest to pull by hand; I like to have a small flat-bladed screwdriver nearby, to pop one edge of oddly-placed keycaps. You may want some isopropyl alcohol to wipe away finger-grease from the remaining surfaces of the keyboard. -dsr-
