Step One - Select Your Hinge Type
Hinges are the small plastic clips located underneath each key. Most laptops use multiple keyboard manufacturers, so replacement keys are not a universal fit! Selecting parts by using only the laptop model number is not enough. You must read and follow the instructions carefully to assure you choose the correct replacement kit for your specific laptop.Begin by determining the size of the missing key you need and checking the images under the corresponding column. Once you find an image that matches the shape of your hinge, the letter/number code under the 'Type' column will represent your hinge type! Once you determine your hinge type, all other keys on your keyboard will also be the same.
Our comparison table shows both the hinge shape as well as the same area without the hinge. Most alphanumeric keys will use a hinge shape located under the 'Normal Key' column. Larger keys (Enter, Backspace, etc.) will generally use hinges similar to those shown under the 'Large Key' column. Small keys (such as the top row function keys) will use hinges under the 'Small Key' column. Arrow key hinges may be horizontally mirrored. Bottom row hinge shapes and some larger keys may not be presented. We show only the most common hinge shapes that cover 90% of keys. If yours doesn't match or you are unsure in any way, do not guess! Simply contact us and we'll help you find the right part!
*All full replacement kits include the key cap, hinge piece(s) and rubber cup! (if applicable)
| Important: Not all hinge shapes and styles may be shown. If your missing keys do not match any of the images, please Contact Us to verify your product! |

Step Two – Verify Keyboard Layout
Now that you've determined your hinge style, let's assure your keyboard resembles the image below! Laptop keys for this model are selected from the keyboard layout shown. If this is not the same as your keyboard, you may have chosen the incorrect model. If you are having any difficulty with your purchase, please contact us and we will be glad to assist you!
Step Three – Complete Your Purchase
Choose the hinge type (if required) and any keys needed as well as additional options (color, etc), then click “Add to Cart”. You can continue browsing and selecting more key replacement kits or proceed to our secure checkout process. You will have a chance to review your entire order before completing your purchase. All items are selected on a per-order basis. If a product is damaged or out of stock, we will suggest available alternatives which may contain extra characters, vary slightly in color, etc (does not affect functionality). Any unavailable products will be placed on back order and shipped once in stock or refunded in full if new inventory is not expected within a reasonable time frame.
**Key replacement kits selected from new and/or used US-English QWERTY layout keyboards as shown in the image. Slight color, finish or appearance differences are possible due to varied keyboard suppliers. If you need keys for a different language layout, please Contact Us first before purchasing, as we may have other versions available. Not all US-English keys will fit other language keyboards. If you are unsure, just contact us and we will help!
