Title: Broken plastic keyboard leg
Post by: Baroque on Sat, 06 July 2013, 04:45:24

Hi,

one of my keyboard's legs broke...

Do you guys know where I could get a new one (preferably from somewhere in the EU)?

Thanks in advance!

This actually has always been in the back of my mind whenever my keyboard feet would split out. Thankfully there is a replacement for my Filco xD

Or just use the keyboard with the feet retracted ;)

I've also seen replacement legs on Shapeways if you want something 3D printed.

I grabbed a couple of sets of legs from the keyboard company.  I use the filco replacement legs on my ducky and leopold TKLs (and my filcos of course).  I hate when the keyboard legs slip because they didn't want to spend the extra bit to add the rubber bit to the legs.  The filco legs don't exactly match up with the leopold's legs, but they work (keycool's legs look like a perfect swap with the leo's, and the keycool's have the end of leg's rubberized fyi).

I swear I've seen more high-end mechanical keyboards break than low-end rubber domes.
