So the up arrow key and down arrow key is broken off my magic keyboard. up arrow key fell off and the bracket is broken to where you can't put it back. down arrow key is is very stiff/stuck.

Couldn't find a online place the sells replacement keys for the magic keyboard, it seems to be all for the regular laptop keyboards
Googling online it seems like the stores have replacement keys for keyboards, but not he magic keyboard.
nearest apple repair place (the apple store) is about 45 mins away.
they won't do mail in repair, they said I have to go the store.
nearest store said they don't have keys and they'd replace the keyboard, but I doubt they will do that, I'm sure once I get in there they will just flag it as accidental damage and tell me they don't have keys and tell me to buy a new one
 
If you have Applecare+ on your iPad, your MK is probably covered too (depending on when you got it). Sounds like that’s what the Apple Store was referring to. Isn’t it worth the trip to possibly get an Applecare replacement? Even without AC+, your MK is covered under the one year hardware warranty. Apple does replace Magic Keyboards … just ask @DiamondarBoss. If Apple said they would replace it, I’d head over there with a positive attitude.
