Broken Left CTRL Key
So, basically the subject says it..
Its broken, as in one of the mini clips is straight gone, i noticed it when the ctrl key was not seating correctly, and i pushed down on it to get it in place, and it clicked, and now the small plastic piece is gone
I don't think my dell is under warranty any more
its a m1330 xps laptop.
I looked on ebay, but doesn't seem like theres any parts for dell laptops
Any other suggestions?

If the key mount is broken, a replacement key won't help - replace the keyboard.

You can of course replace just a key. my key cap popped off and I ordered the key from here and they sent me the key cap with the retainer clips (plastic pieces). Good service.
