Never done one on a Gateway, but the notebook keyboards I've replaced (on Dell and Sony) were easy.
Here's three choices from FleaBay:

It's not hard to do. You can sometimes find individual keys on ebay if there's nothing physically broken on the KB & the keys are just missing. Otherwise, new keyboards are pretty cheap & easy to replace. You might want to take the machine apart 1st & see if you can find a part# on the KB, since even within the same model they might use several different keyboards.
A key onmy wife's gateway broke, and it was still under warranty so I sent it back and they had to replace the whole keyboard. It's stupid, they couldn't just send me the key.
