Default Know where to find the buttons for a key fob?

So, I work on the sixth floor of a building. This morning, I grab my keys in the elevator so I can unlock my office door, and upon walking out of the elevator, the keys slip from my hand. I'm pretty sure they fell through the exact middle of the crack between the elevator and the floor, as they didn't even make a sound until what I'm assuming is somewhere around the third floor. As I contemplate the odds of the keys survival, I look up and see a Building Services dude... haven't seen a single one in the year+ I've worked here, and lo and behold here's one staring at me as I drop my keys. Maybe it was voodoo magic he used because he wanted something to do, but he just said "What's your office number... I'll go get them", and then left. 20 minutes later, he returned with a handful of pieces.

Short story short, there was one piece missing... the actual buttons themselves. Does anyone know where one can pick up either the buttons or just the case minus the electronics? Most of the ones I see on Amazon/eBay are the three button keys, whereas I have the 1x2" fob with the valet insert and 4 buttons, which I can only find as complete packages. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Or you can buy a blank shell on ebay for 40 bucks. As long as the chip is intact it should be an easy swap
