    This is a bit of a long shot but I've broken one of the small white plastic mechanisms under one of my keys. It's made up of two small pieces which interlink. Has anyone got an old broken keyboard or laptop that fancies donating one?

    Otherwise anyone know how I could get hold of one?

    You might just be in luck if nobody comes forward with a spare!

    On eBay, there is a seller selling the keys and scissor clips for our laptops for only $8.99. Here! I hope this helps! Oh, and read the description, as it is just $8.99 for one key...darn fine print.
