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.

Do you have access to polymer clay? Craft store? Aptitude to make use of plastic through heating/cutting?

Make a nice little wire or wax cast around it and then melt a small bit of LEGO into there maybe and absolutely put the results on techgore.

After looking into replacing it myself, I bought a new computer. If it’s the keyboard I had, it was a ridiculous amount of tiny screws to deal with

There are a bunch of local experts, open Google Maps and you will find a place with good reviews. Besides "authorized apple technicians" to people "experts in Apple devices", all of them can make this happen on a morning for you. Probably buying the keyboard in advance and bring it with you to them, but if you don't want to wait, pretty sure they also have them in-store for sale.

I had a similar issue where the replacement key wouldn’t snap on. Try sticking something underneath the clear plastic piece that the key would snap into to provide enough pressure to get it to snap on.

what happens if you just leave it like that? Can you just cover it so that's airtight?

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
