Laptop keyboard fix

[Zsigazsi]

Hello all!
I recently dropped an empty cup on my asus tuf a16 laptop and my altgr key broke off, the microswitch is fine the hinge mechanism is broken , 3of the 4 clips on the board are fine and all clips on the keycap are broken.
Is there a better solution than ca glueing the cap on the microswitch?

Thanks in advance

Actually giggled at this one 

Assuming the remaining parts on the board itself are enough to hold the scissor hinge, you should be able to order a replacement hinge and keycap on Aliexpress. Can't link the exact listing I found because their URLs are insane but should look something like this:

They seem to be able to send in pretty much any key if you contact them and send the picture of the exact key you need a replacement for. Look for the listing closest to your exact model though, naming schemes for laptops are confusing as hell.
