I went thru the key thing for years, gave up and bought the eternity key for around $119 but it is guaranteed for life, and is very well built. I know, lots of money, but no more broken keys.

I just tried one of the shells sold on Amazon someone posted about here. Seems solid.
You need the original key blade, not one from an ebay precut. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EBBJ23Y
Thanks but the key looks ugly
Also, some of the reviewers said you need to do some filing in order for it to fit.

Can't do anything about the aesthetics but the "filing" I think is nonsense. What one person called "filing" was really "break any remaining black plastic remnants off the T head of the key", which was pretty easy with a pair of pliers. I swapped an original key into the new shell in minutes.
My bad... I thought filing was needed on the peaks of the key and not the poor molding of the shell. Filing the molding is definitely poor production quality.
Got my keys today 8/12 (ordered Thursday 8/8), bought 3 of them just in case
Installation was a breeze, the key is solid as a rock, they provided a new battery (1616) and stickers that go on the back to hide the two screws that secure the shell halves.
Excited to use them tomorrow, will report back in a few days once I get more experience with them.
