ob,
Let me post the long version of the kybd broken spring stud repair.  
All the other ideas are fine, mine is the easiest if it works in your situation.  

emove the spring and contact wire associated with it.  Normally the spring 
ooks like this 
(_OOOOOOO_)
Make a new end on the spring so it looks more like this:
(_OOOOOOO_
         )

einstall with the new end just over the plastic frame exactly where the stud 
roke off.  The new end will be sharp where you cut it with the wire cutters and 
ill usually hold fine as it is biting into the plastic frame.  As I said 
efore, just make sure it does not touch the adjacent springs or metal bottom of 
he TTY tray.
I had to think about the graphics awhile.  LOL.
