Does anyone know where I can find an Apple II+ keyboard?  The "M" key
broke off of mine and my unsteady hands succeeded in getting glue into
the mechanism so that it won't pop-up now.  I think it would be
easiest to simply replace the keyboard if I can find one.



Any help appreciated!

By the time you get the keyboard out, it's not much trouble to replace the
bad keyswitch...

Agreed that just replacing key switches is the best option. It's
relatively simple if you have a soldering iron and a solder sucker.
Care must be taken not to over heat the pins though.
If you still want a complete keyboard, I know John Woodall has some,
but they are all untested.

Well, I'd still have the broken plastic of the "M" key to fix.  Or, is
there a way to get just the single key and put the "M" cover over it?


Keyswitches are "bare"--the keycaps are pressed onto them.
