I feel like I'm breaking a key on my Corsair K70 once every few weeks - one or more sectors of the stems breaking off, through regular (non-gaming) use.

Can anyone confirm that the facility to request free replacements from Corsair is no longer available? Only reference I can find to replacements is via their US page which asks for $14.99 shipping. I'm sure there used to be a UK one, but perhaps died a death?
 
Have you looked at the popular Chinese express sites? I haven't looked for this specific keyboard but I found some for mine.

Failing that, looking at the corsair site the switches look like standard 'cherry' style stems (the cross pattern) and a quick google/reddit search suggests they are 'OEM' shape (or you could try different shapes - Cherry, OEM, SA, ISA etc.), so there are literally thousands of options that would fit on the bay/river/ali, usually starting around £20.
Or they (corsair) seem to offer keycap 'mod kits' in blue or green... although they're IMO pretty ugly and I'd just pick up some aftermarket ones - the 170+ cap sets generally include all the required modifiers for a proper UK/ISO layout (both shapes and the legends - £ and the @ being in the right place etc!)
