Well, these A2000 keys can be made to fit (they're Mitsumi type) but:
1) The colour and feel of these is distinctly different (these are the non-yellowing white keys with a somewhat rough, grainy surface, not the smooth, somewhat shiny type used in the A500 and A1200).
2) The stem at the underside of the keys is a bit different from that of A500/A1200 keys, thus it will not clip perfectly unless the supporting key "sleeve" is changed for the A2000 version as well. I probably have a few of the matching sleeves, but note that you will be needing to take apart the whole keyboard.
3) The cutout keys from Left Shift and Enter, coming from a German layout keyboard, are not blank as in the US/UK versions.
So this may end up not being an ideal fix. I still have a few A500 keys that would fit better, and Andylandy also offers here some genuine A1200 keys, you might want to look that up too
Let me know.
EDIT: yep, I found exact replacements: Left Shift + blank right cutout and Enter + blank lower-left cutout from an A500+ keyboard, only thing they're a bit yellowed and may require an H2O2 bath.
