Excellent mechanical approach

This looks like a great approach. I'm curious about a few details:
  • What contributed the helical spring, a ballpoint pen?
  • Is the glue expensive?
  • Has this changed the feel of that repaired key?

I much prefer your mechanically fastened approach using a real spring material to just re-gluing the broken stump.

The HP palmtops (95LX, 100LX, and 200LX) have always suffered the same key fatigue and I've never been happy with the results of using cyanoacrylate (Super Glue).
