try these guys http://www.applemacparts.co.uk/store/ for apple spares

to get you out of a hole you can plug in a apple or pc usb keyboard till the spares turn up.

Apple keyboards are £26-29 quid pcworld,comet and currys stock them apple fix there prices so there a standard price no matter where you get one

hope this helps
