    I have a broken down arrow key on my laptop, I have googled but failed to find one, other keys seem available but from US, anyone any clue where I should try? It's a bit of a nuisance as it has cracked down the middle and won't stay in place.

    could try aliexpress but will take a while to deliver

    tbh I would just remove the broken plastic keycap and use just the centre plastic/rubber thing which is under most keyboards as with the arrow keys you are not using them to touch-type text but rather "looking at" the key when using it so it's actually ok in that regard to use the centre plastic/ rubber yoke to press it(even if it looks a bit gick).

    (wouldn't work with a letter key as said if you're a touch typist)

    I get what you mean but it's probably the key I use most hence why it broke I imagine!
