So I have a KBC poker and in the mail the tit broke off of the number 8 key, what do you in a situation like that, where do you order those

You can go on the classifieds and do a WTB for a switch (if thats the only thing that broke). And with some simple soldering you can replace the switch.

If it's not plate mounted then you can get around it by just prying open the switch.

yeah pcb mounted are super easy to change. There's several tutorial videos on youtube. ....Is "tit" the correct term? hahaha

I had a Cherry MX Blue Switch go "mushy" and would register multiple clicks when activated. The best thing to do and what I did while waiting for my replacement switch was to swap the broken key with another switch not typically used like Scroll Lock or Print Screen.
