    Yeah, recolouring it should cover up the scratch.

    Maybe a picture would help. I supposed one route might be to bring it down to the service centre and have them replace that button. If it is a manufacturing defect they would need to replace it for you for free. I don't think buttons can get scratched so easily.

    However I noticed that the On/Off button on my Dell laptop has changed color, probably because I pressed it too often. The silver is gone and it looks like it is oxidized somewhat probably from my sweaty finger. ;)

    You'll need to either color it like someone said above or try those scratch removers? (though I think they're made for clear surfaces)

    What button? A key?
    Just buy a new key.
    Or at least take a photo so we have some kind of idea what you're talking about.

    That's what I would use - the quickest and easiest solution.

    Probably - just color it back in again! You're making this more difficult than it has to be.
