I am glad I found this post. I broke the cable from the lighting port on the Apple Keyboard 2 A2450 (touch id, not numeric pad) and would like to find a new lightning port and cable. Can you point me to a place where I can buy this please. I think I need to lighting port and the cable because it seems that the cable cannot be removed from the lighting port.
