I work as a developer so I have to use key combinations a lot. And I have HP Envy laptop. And the Ctrl key is broken for the second time.

First time I just took one from my friend. But I don't have any more friends who are willing to sacrifice their Ctrl key

Anyone know where I can find one? (or rather a bunch because they are so weak and low quality)

I tried to contact HP support but they did everything to prevent people from doing it. And it is impossible to reach HP support. And in my case where warranty is expired it is not possible at all according to their rules.

Also I tried Googling but found nothing
