Laptop Keyboard Replacement

[gamer2525]

Hello all, the other day I broke the space bar on my ASUS gl502vmk laptop. It barely works now and writing this message is quite difficult. Since a replacement is nearly $150, would I be able to buy a refurbished keyboard for the gl502vm for around $40? I guess what im trying to ask is are the two keyboards compatible since they are from the same line of laptops? I have a guy who can swap the keyboards out. Thank you for your help!

It's the same part for both the Skylake and Kaby Lake model.

US model uses a rectangular shaped Enter key. Other countries use an L-shaped Enter key. You need to make sure you order the correct keyboard.

On ebay you can buy just the new keyboard without the frame.

E.g.

If you like buying a used generic keyboard, sure.
