cut the usb port from another device cut the one off the key board. then strip all the wires connect them accordingly and your good to go.

You can ask local shop about, new usb port or take from some old devices , and replace old , another solution is
cut USB cable and weld wires directly to keyboard PCB.

From the sounds of it, you have put way too much tension on a regular basis to the port or yanked the cable out too many times at an angle, as it is very rare for a port to crack and break. That being said, you can probably resolder the usb port (I've done this many times with power jacks, micro usb jacks, etc...). If you open up the keyboard, you can normally get the part number from piece in question by looking for tiny numbers and/or a manufacturers name/symbol. If you find the exact number, you can do an online search to find the correct replacement part. Desolder the old one off and replace. Sites like Jameco (http://www.jameco.com/1/3/solder-usb-interconnects), Digikey (http://www.digikey.com/product-search/en/connectors-interconnects/usb-dvi-hdmi-connectors/1442532/page/3?k=solder) and several others have component part that you can older.

You can also ask CM directly what part number they use. The keyboard has a 2 year warranty, so you may be able to do a warranty claim if it looks like it isn't abuse to them. Whenever you do get it fixed/replaced, please get a longer USB cable if that is why the port got damaged.
