Title: keyboard glue?
Post by: hazel-ra on Sat, 08 August 2009, 17:24:04

In taking apart my M2 keyboard to clean and repair it, I've broken several of the standing latches and the connector on the space bar key. I've tried regular crazy glue ( as they call it in the US ) to repair them, but it's not strong enough. Is there another product strong enough to put this plastic back together?

Sounds like a case for epoxy glue.

I think you'll have to replace the spacebar key.  They break easily on the IBMs and there's not enough plastic to work with gluing.

Replace with one cannibalized from another unit? What's this metal spacebar key you're showing?

M2 space bar and plastic stabilizer is one part.
