I have managed to break one of the clips that hold the small metal bar on the main delete key on my AppleDesign keyboard. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I can pick up a new key? The key still works just fine but it has an annoying click and wobbles around a little bit. Feels strange. Anyway, if anyone has any ideas, let me know.

Have you tried approaching your local dealer or service center? They aren't always that helpful in such situations (especially where the damage could be chalked up to "wear and tear"), but it's worth a try.

I did try going to my local Apple Authorized service people (actually 2 different dealers). One of them couldn't find the parts in their catalog. That place is a complete waste of time. They're just waiting for the expensive repair jobs to come walking through the door. The second place said that they could just order one key. They would have to get the whole set. So I was thinking, all new keys? That wouldn't be too bad. Problem was that they wanted $65. WTF?!?!? So, both of those are out. Any more suggestions? I have emails into different mac dealers on the net. Maybe one of them can swing me a deal. Anyone know of a company that specializes in mac parts??? Please let me know. Thanks...
