Good day, Tempers.

I found myself in a rather obnoxious position, in which two keys of my laptop's keyboard fell off due to weak hinges on the keys.
I tried to repair them to the best of my abilities, but with how minuscule the hinges are, the buttons just couldn't be placed again in the laptop.

I find this really heartbreaking, as this was from a laptop I just purchased (2nd hand, so no warranty past the 1st month).
I know that in this cases, the most obvious solution is to just purchase another keyboard and install it, but I want to see if there's a possible (and with less of a hassle) way to fix this by purchasing individual keys for the keyboard.

The precise keyboard model is for a Lenovo Ideapad 3 15IIL05 laptop.
My question is, does anyone know of a website or a place where one can purchase individual keys for laptops?
I am looking for almost the entire set of key, hinge and rubberpad.

I'm open to all kinds of suggestions.
I found a handful of websites online, but I'm unsure of the legitimacy of them:
https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com
https://laptopkey.com
https://laptopkeys.com
https://laptop-keys.com

If anyone has purchased from any of these and has any experience, or has a better recommendation, please let me know!
(My OCD is killing me lol)

Some buy the replacement keyboard/water damaged things and part those out. You might also get lucky and find one for another language in your country (though Europe is better for that one) and thus cheaper keyboard still.

What I am more here to say is look up baking soda and superglue. It works wonders in scenarios like this where custom plastic parts are broken and need to be rebuilt.

I did purchase a faulty keyboard last week, but the problem was that the hinge type of the laptops are different from mine.
I even ordered the same type of keyboard for the computer (15IIL05) but still the hinges are different.

I will try to see if I can track down a proper keyboard for pieces or faulty from eBay that has the proper hinges, it'll be a pain to find one with pictures that actually show the proper hinge type, but hopefully I can.
If not, I'll try checking one of those sites I posted, maybe there I can find the proper keys, even if overpriced.
