 IF you have all the original broken  parts you may even be able to repair it.
Back in the 1980s  I fixed a Tandy 1000EX key by using a drop of model(NOT superglue) glue on the broken  mating surfaces AND  repeatedly working the key  so the glue would only set up on the non moving surfaces. Afterwards you couldn't tell the difference  between that key and others.

 Unless someone can convince a Chinese factory to make a run of Amiga keyboards  and mice we will all be using adapters and PC input devices.Since generic PC keyboards sell for only a few dollars maybe there is a way to open one up and rewire? it for Amiga.

 My reservation is the interface is yet another accessory to buy/keep track of/fail ; if a little wire swapping would enable function of just a keyboard that would be my choice.
