That's for laptop keyboards - I don't see any spare parts there for membrane keyboards. I said "rubber dome" but I guess that was ambiguous; I meant the PC keyboards where there's a single moulded rubber sheet inside that forms the switch and "spring". I was not able to quickly find anywhere offering spare membranes for ordinary keyboards, but I'm pretty sure they'll be more than 5 euro :P

Gotcha. Yeah, those are indeed fucky to repair. If the spring breaks, maybe you replace them, but if the circuit breaks, then they probably really ripe for the dustbin.

Also, membrane always makes me think of the rollable, silicon keyboard. Really wanted to test one, but am not made of money and unwilling to buy something that might just be an easily broken dust collector.
