All you need to do is run down to your local friendly (?) Apple dealer and
buy a couple of key switches and install them yourself.  It should take you
no more than 10 minutes to do them if you're careful.  Just open the case by
removing the 6 screws,  locate the offending keys and de-solder them,  snap
in the new keys and re-solder.  Total cost,  $10.,  tops.

If you don't want to do the soldering the Apple dealer should do it for you
for no more than $10. (each).

Hope this helps.
