This key cap is very broken. Apple says they need to replace the entire keyboard. Any creative ideas here. It still works when I press on the rubber it’s just that a piece of plastic broke off and the app replacement keys don’t snap on. 

Any creative ideas on how I can fix this?

p.s. because I don’t live anywhere near an Apple Store nor in a place apple can ship to, just replacing the keyboard is not an option since it takes to long.

I had this. 

Put two tiny pieces of sticker on the key cap that fell off and stick them to neighbour keys keeping it a bit loose so that the other keys aren't pressed when you press the broken key. 

If the "scissor mechanism"... oh wait is this the butterfly mechanism of 2015-2019 ish era? Anyways find a donor MacBook (entirely broken) and just replace the cap using the donor device, that would be the best option
