Broken Left CTRL Key

So, basically the subject says it..

Its broken, as in one of the mini clips is straight gone, i noticed it when the ctrl key was not seating correctly, and i pushed down on it to get it in place, and it clicked, and now the small plastic piece is gone

 

I don't think my dell is under warranty any more

its a m1330 xps laptop.

I looked on ebay, but doesn't seem like theres any parts for dell laptops

 

Any other suggestions?

    If the key mount is broken, a replacement key won't help - replace the keyboard.

    You can of course replace just a key. my key cap popped off and I ordered the key from here and they sent me the key cap with the retainer clips (plastic pieces). Good service.
