Here is the best stuff.  Used it to repair a Industrial M13 broken in transit.

same thing happened to me.  There is crack on bottom corner of my keyboard.  Thank God I found the piece inside.  Also the left mount broke off so I have to epoxy it on.  

This all happened even though the keyboard was well packed.  It's gotta be the weight.

Thanks Ripster, you are a keyboard Genius!

Make sure that you get the "plastic repair" epoxy, and not just any epoxy. The right type should have some kind (or several kinds) of solvent in them that will penetrate the plastic and cause chemical bonds to form when it dries away.
