I have a Razer anansi and my E key is not working. I use a macro on the keyboard to replace this but it is extremely annoying not having a E key. I was wondering if there was a way for me to repair or replace this key. The key sometimes works it well either not count the E, or one E, and most of the time two e's EE

You can always take a key - the 'ins' key for example - and swap that with the 'e' key. If the damage isn't to the key itself, but to the conductor under it, then I don't think that can be repaired easily, if at all.

You could also give contacting Razer support a go and see if they stock replacement keys for their keyboards. Verify that the issue is with the key itself first though by using the above method.

It looks like that particular keyboard is a membrane keyboard as opposed to a mechanical one however, so it's also possible that the membrane is damaged and that is preventing the contact between the conductors. You'll have to see what is damaged exactly before deciding what to do.
