Can't find parts for new MacBook - how can I replace the keyboard?

Let me preface this by saying my computer is not covered by Applecare (stupid me). I have an A2141 Macbook 16” w/ Touch Bar (2019). Yesterday, I spilled some iced coffee on the keyboard. Everything works fine, thankfully. However, I removed some keys (H, J, and Space Bar) to clean inside and make sure I got any residue. I was successful in cleaning, but screwed up the keyboard. The H is off kilter, the J key cap is falling off completely (think the hooks inside are chipped), and the Space Bar doesn’t respond to press anywhere but the center and super loose and wobbly.

Took it to a repair shop who said he can’t locate the parts bc the computer is so new. No parts are available on iFixit. What are my options here?

Sadly you are up the creek without a paddle ;-{

So if the system is working I would recommend you struggle with it for now using a external Bluetooth keyboard & mouse and an external monitor so you don’t see it ;-}

In the fall when parts are more available try again! Here is where I would look TheBookYard UK - MacBook Key Caps
