Check battery in wireless keyboard... May be weak. If wireless keyboard and mouse are after market you may have to reset them...or if the keyboard is old it may have crud trapped in between the key. Turn off..spray a little alcohol between the key and let dry before trying to use it again. Keyboards are cheap if that does not work replace it.
To get a replacement keyboard for your laptop (if you're talking about replacing the builtin keyboard) will have to be directly purchased from the manufacturer.
If you're looking for a new external keyboard, any USB Keyboard will work.
I you already lost it, you need to purchased a new keyboard since there no particular part no for just one key of the keyboard...Below is the picture of the key that is missing...
mcdevito75 here, I also have a wireless mouse and keyboard, hope I can help out. Isn"t there a button on the keyboard well under it taht has to be pressed, also double check battery instalation in the key board. Hope this helps.
Ah, wireless keyboards and mice...
The problem with using most wireless electronics in applications as sensitive as computer use, is that so many things share a close proximity of frequencies. Many wireless routers use 2.4 ghz frequency, as do many cordless phones. Interruptions in wireless products are, unfortunately, a part of the deal as of yet. This 'could' be making it miss a key.
Keyboards are also notorious for allowing a very low number of buttons to be active at one time. It may be that your typing speed and style has you accidentally pushing more buttons than the keyboard allows periodically.
It could be a defect, a not perfect connection on the 'board' of the keyboard that doesn't line up perfectly every time a key is pressed. Only expect this if the same key(s) repeatedly miss.
Lastly, it could be that you're just not used to the tension and feel of the keyboard yet. I know it took me awhile to get used to my laptop keyboard when I first bought it, after using the same desktop keyboard for near 5 years!
Hope my answer was inclusive and conclusive enough. Happy Holidays!

Yes in that case you should be able to use them without installing the microsoft software (at least the main keys of the keyboard, specialty keys will probably need software). Are you certain there is only the one USB plug for the receiver? No other plugs coming off of it?
Best to just replace the keyboard instead of trying to replace a missing key. Keyboards are made cheap and is a common part that is sold in almost any wal-mart, target, k-mart store in the elctronics section. If you have an expensive wireless keyboard from a manufatcurer like logitech, you may be able to get a replacement key from them. Contact the manufacturer for more information.
