Earlier this morning I broke my right arrow key in half.
I need ideas so I can put it back together :/

look it up

You're going to have to buy a new arrow key.

I tried looking on amazon but there isn't another keyboard for my laptop.. x.x

so much resources

That's not helpful if you don't have a spare junk laptop around (which almost nobody does unless they're a computing engineer lol)

Hah my dad is a computer engineer but he doesn't have the same key to put on my laptop. The keys on my laptop are smaller and that's a huge problem

I FOUND ONE!!!
Ebay

You can probably find one cheaper. $100 for a parts PC is costly.

Those bigger HP laptops tend to be fairly easy to disassemble. If your dad is indeed working with computers he should have no problem taking out your broken keyboard, finding the part number, ordering a new keyboard and reassembling your laptop again. Any computer store can of course also do this. You should not under any circumstance pay $100 to repair an aging laptop (Intel Core 2 is not exactly new).

I guess you could also try to find specific keys but since you seem to be missing more than that one key you might as well get a new keyboard.

My keyboard is not the only thing that's broken lol

Then perhaps consider buying a new laptop / computer altogether.

I dropped it atleast 5 times once and the screen got all fucked up but we fixed that.
My dad took my laptop and broken key with him to work so he said he'll fix it by today

well... you can hot glue it, but that may never work.. just my opinion

hot glue the two pieces of the right arrow together and press it let it try and try to stick it on your laptop

That probably wouldn't sit very well.

Sadly I'll have to buy the 100 dollar laptop on ebay to use for spare parts because my dad couldn't find the exact same key at work

You can take it apart.. of course you can buy a new keyboard for a laptop but I couldn't find any on ebay or amazon
so now I have to buy a full laptop used for spare parts only and take off the keyboard and put it on mine

Can't fix it..
I guess I won't be able to play nekodancer and transformice
