My Wireless Keyboard USB reciever broke

[ShinGamix]

I use an Acer Keyboard and mouse that goes to a usb receiver. The receiver broke and I can't find where to get the replacement part that works?

Buy a new one.

Unless you can find another one where the mouse has broken and the receiver is okay.

So the don't sell a replacement reciever?

You can always try a Wave Pro Receiver, I went into some searching and this seems to make a few people happy, not sure on your case but you can check it out through the forums here on people discussing the same problem you having and people turn to Wave Pro Receiver.

No, they usually don't sell replacement parts for such sets - for several reasons.

One of the biggest problems would be that the costs required would be almost the same as purchasing a new set - they would need storage for packages of single replacement parts (which adds storage, accounting and production costs), plus the shipping and packaging costs, plus the helpline/service overhead to handle those replacement parts....

Usually you get the entire set replaced on warranty (and have to send in the entire set even if only part was broken), simply because it's cheaper for the companies to replace sets than to handle spare parts for low-cost-items.

Buy a wired keyboard for a fraction of the cost of your wireless keyboard instead.

There is a small chance that in this cas (high-cost-items) they'll have replacement parts, but if that is the case you can only ask the manufacturer's helpline for it, no chance to get spare parts in regular stores.
