This guide also works for the Casio LK-175.

The keys are in small groups and you will need to purchase the correct ones. Unfortunately, the ones I received from a seller did not match. I think he thought the part was compatible between my keyboard and the one he pulled them from. I very carefully tried super-gluing the key back onto it's section and so far so good (a few hours). Hopefully, the repair will hold.

Thank you for the guide Samantha.
