I see keys for 5€ each, regardless of “rubber dome”, scissors, membrane, whatever. What prices are you seeing?
A keycap is that? I don’t believe that is how rubber dome keyboards break… I think the rubber sheet degrades so that it no longer closes the switch when pressed, and you need to open up the whole thing, clean it, and replace the whole sheet (which is custom for each board, not as generic as a switch) if you can find one.
Check it out. 5€/key with everything included. It’s more expensive than I’d like, but replacing a single key is much easier this way, much better for the environment, and way more economical than chucking the whole keyboard in the bin to buy another one for 20+€.
That’s for laptop keyboards - I don’t see any spare parts there for membrane keyboards. I said “rubber dome” but I guess that was ambiguous; I meant the PC keyboards where there’s a single moulded rubber sheet inside that forms the switch and “spring”. I was not able to quickly find anywhere offering spare membranes for ordinary keyboards, but I’m pretty sure they’ll be more than 5 euro :P
Gotcha. Yeah, those are indeed fucky to repair. If the spring breaks, maybe you replace them, but if the circuit breaks, then they probably really ripe for the dustbin.
Also, membrane always makes me think of the rollable, silicon keyboard. Really wanted to test one, but am not made of money and unwilling to buy something that might just be an easily broken dust collector.
