I have a predator Helios 300 (g3 - 572) and accidentally broke the 'E' key. I did looked up the internet for replacement, but only one place had that, that too for $13.74 including shipping which would be way to expensive for me ATM. Is there any other replacement options?

Any way to fix it?

Note: The broken part is the underside clips of Key which attaches to the butterfly mechanism.

If possible, just use an external keyboard. Fixing keycaps is difficult in laptops

 

Or just bring to service center if it still have warranty
