Installation of keyboard was easy. Instructions were helpfull. Good product

I had been struggling with my eight-year-old laptop for a few months and thought I probably needed a new one, but a new keyboard and battery have it running like new again! (I hate having to set up new computers, phones, etc. -- it's such a waste of my limited brain cells.)It was easy to install -- YouTube showed me how. It took less than five minutes, and it was up and running again. Wish I'd've done this months ago!

I purchased this keyboard to repair a friend’s Latitude 5558. The quality of this keyboard seems to equal the original Dell part. The repair job takes only a few minutes because the keyboard unclips along its top edge. Unclip the old keyboard, open the connector(s), install the new ribbon cables, close the connectors and pop the keyboard into place. That’s it.As as added bonus, this keyboard is backlit which the original from Dell was not. The Latitude already has the connector for the backlight ribbon, so this was a nice easy upgrade.

After about 3 months with this keyboard, I'm fed up and have had enough of the struggle to type. First, the cable for the backlight was longer than the OEM keyboard had, so my installation guy had to fold it. He was not happy with how it affected certain keys. Additionally, I've discovered, that your keystroke only gets picked up, if you push on many of the keys, in exactly the right spot, the spacebar being one of them. If you hit the spacebar outside of a small dead center area, it does not work. This applies to the shift keys, as well. The "n" key, right under that too-long ribbon cable has to usually be hit twice. This is going in the trash as soon as I can find a better quality replacement and therein lies my next problem. There might not be any. Then it's time for a new computer and it will be a Mac this time. No more Dell junk.

Decent price, exact replacement

Bought it to fix wife's computer because she writes so much content for the internet and she wore out the original keyboard. Fits perfect but wife hated it. It seemed to not work well or the keys maybe not making good contact? Required pressing some keys several times to work. She gave up on it and got another laptop. I got the laptop and kept using it. eventually it seemed the keys gradually worked better. The more I used it the better the key response was. I don't usually use a laptop but at least the computer is fixed now when I want one. Suspect keyboards been stored for so long the switch contacts inside might take some time to break through whatever corrosion inside. Depending on your patience, or luck it hard to say whether to buy this.

funciona perfecto, lo recibi antes de fecha estimada

A hand-me-down laptop had a keyboard that no longer registered letters reliably when pressed. This new keyboard came with illuminated keys which looks great. Installation was easy, but I strongly recommend looking at a youtube video showing installation as the clips holding the ribbon cables onto the motherboard can be broken if not careful. When that happens, you're SOL. The price was right on this keyboard.
