Keyboard on my C64C broke. Need a replacement. Preferably brown/black, but color doesn't matter if the price is right. Located in Florida.

I have a brown one that's missing a few keys.
If you're willing to do some key swaps, just let me know.

Well, I don't want to get rid of any more keys from my semi-broken one until I get a full replacement! The broken one is white though, anyway.

Checkered flag keyboard! Wait... that's a rad idea!
Post a pic, I might trade straight across for one of my working ones.
This is an OG C64, right? Not a C64-C.

No it's C64C! But I assumed it would be the same, apart from color. Is it not?
It has all keys, except the arrow key in the top left corner snapped off.
There's damage to the PCB underneath in 2 places.

I have no idea! They look pretty much identical.
Let's do a little research first.

Research Complete.
They are compatible.

Is the missing key the only thing wrong with it?
Looks like you'll have to do a little cutting of the plastics for it to fit.

Ah I PM'd you. I wouldn't feel good trading my keyboard as anything but "dead". Yeah, there are other problems with it. Electrical though, not mechanical. I mean the physical buttons go up and down fine. 
They don't stick or anything, if that's what you were worried about. I thought you just wanted the individual keys themselves, to make a checkerboard pattern on one of yours?
Mine only looks smaller cause I cut it down to make room for some mods. Which is how I first damaged it. /facepalm

Ah.
Learn something new every day.
I was more concerned for your computer than mine. I'm just gonna pull the keys and put the board in the parts bin.

And we have a deal.
Post a pic in here when you have the Checker64 complete! Should look pretty cool.

Here's the exact keyboard I'll be sending.
Just pulled it out of an unmodded C64.
