key axel/pivot point repair options (Spice)

[teenix]

It will be fiddly, but you might be able to get some good quality plastic glue and after cleaning up the break, attach some plastic rod of the same size.

I'm not sure but maybe there is not much pressure applied to this part of the key.

I think this part is mainly there to keep the key squarely in position and able to rotate. Most of the force would be directly down from finger pressure, although I guess some force on the pivot point will be present.

Maybe an analogy would be to have your palm flat on a table, rest a pencil at right angles across a finger with one end sticking out an inch or two, and press the very end of the pencil down as hard as you like. There will be very little pressure on the pivot across your finger.
