You can't just get the rubber buttons, a whole new key is necessary. They are glued together and difficult to pull apart successfully even if you could get the rubber buttons. You can get cheap remote keys on ebay but then they need to be programmed.
I know it sucks but what can you do, both my keys have the same problem. They should make the buttons so that they last at least the life of the battery.

I was hoping someone will tell us that. I don't really want to buy new keys.
The buttons aren't cheap but beats buying a new key. Reckon I'll get some.
Thanks for the information.

I bought a complete genuine NEW 3 button key with blade off Ebay for $35, they are often available for upto $50. It of course requires programming / matching to the body control module (BCM), which I can do for you for close to nothing if you are in Melbourne. You can easily swap the key blade by removing the two screws.
