Hey so I did ALOT of searching and I found this. I don't know much about this type of stuff but the one i found seems to be really straight forward without any resisters or filters while the original broken one had a bunch of little filters or something that the connection went through. Im not sure whether it would break my keyboard or not. Heres the link:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9966
Hello. did you manage to test this board and see if the keyboard works? I have your same exact issue and looking for a replacement board for the usb.

If you've just lifted a pad like the OP you could follow the trace and solder jumper wire to the component it goes to.
from what i see on the photos the extra components may be ESD protection, so if you do not touch the pins from the usb while on carpet you should be OK with any random mini/micro usb breakout board and solder the wires onto it, that is if you have a soldering iron, else you will need to find one with the right connector, or a donor keyboard that had water damage maybe
if you want to keep the usb mini you can go for the sparkfun one that slupod found, or much cheaper ones from ebay/aliexpress, connectors are not really worth going for name brand ones maybe try to find one with labels so you can match with the labels on the board you have. although if you go for that route you could change the connector to micro usb or type-C (harder as you may need resistors and to find the right contacts).
