I accidentally broke my space bar while taking it off to clean the dirt underneath. Is there a way to get the key separately? (BTW, German keyboard layout, if it makes any difference).

It broke in half. I can type, but it's not as comfortable anymore.

im guessing you will need to get a replacement KB... or an old one and take the space bar off that...

superglue the ttwo parts together?
I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.

Thanks.
I know I can get a whole keyboard, but it's probably more expensive than just a single key
