I also fixed some of my SY22 keys!!! I now have two broken keys but I'm too lazy to fix them. How do you fix the broken plastic pieces? Maybe your method is easier than mine....

Ok, here's a little example. I glued the metal "thing" in his place, the lower part with an epoxy glue, it dries in 10 minutes, and then works really fine, like the others, no difference.

IMHO, they should re-design their "rubber" system in order to prevent dust etc. from filtering under the rubbers :-x

I'm thinking that a strip of ordinary plastic wrap from the kitchen could be laid over the top of the contact strips to act as a "crumb catcher"

I am testing another possible solution on my NS2 SW73 : adhesive mask strips as used by painters. Have to wait 6 to 12 months for the results...

thank you! I'll take a closer look later, but I think my keys don't break at the same place as yours. Can you please take a closer photo of just the key with the glue?

many thans!!
