... I'll try to stop asking questions. Well, for a bit.

I recently acquired an Ergo Pro 2 FK403QPC-2. It has a leg that's coming off. What cement, glue, resin, etc. should I use to fix? I tried to find out what kind of plastic the case is, but all I'm finding is, "Plastic case."

You folks have been excellent in answering questions, so thanks in advance!

Can you take a pic?

No worries about asking many questions, lol.

Here ya go.
That's just your standard Scotch tape hanging off to the left. It actually works pretty good, but I need a permanent solution.

I know some folks do get a little annoyed when n00b posts too much. I do try to search for answers before I post, so I guess that's a point for me .

Ouch, poor thing lol.


I would use plastic epoxy.

I think that Matias advertises that their cases are made out of polycarbonate. Whether or not that changes the choice of glues you're going to use, I don't know.

Maybe ...? There's a version of JB Weld that I looked up and it does work on polycarbonate.

kelvinhall05, thank you very much for the advice. I did check Riverman's comment and confirmed Matias' Quiet Pro is listed as being polycarbonate. Of course, Matias could have used something different on the Ergo. However, I think that the JB Weld I linked to will probably be OK.

You guys seem to be looking in the wrong direction. Is the leg rubber? Rubber is notoriously hard to glue.

"Super-glue" was originally a glue for rubber, but I usually use rubber cement (the brown syrup-like stuff).

No, the leg itself is the same kind of plastic as the case. There's a very good size rubber strip on the "foot" of the leg to keep the keyboard from sliding around.
