Laptop keyboard replacement cost depends on the keyboard type. A standard membrane keyboard is the most affordable; backlit and gaming RGB keyboards cost more, and MacBook keyboards cost the most because on many models the keyboard is built into the top case. The table below shows honest starting prices, and a single dead key or a driver issue may be a cheaper fix than a full replacement — which is exactly why we diagnose first, for free.
We never charge to inspect your laptop or quote the repair, and for standard repairs you don't pay if we can't fix it. Every price includes our written warranty.

What affects your keyboard replacement cost
- Keyboard type — backlit, gaming RGB and MacBook keyboards cost more than standard ones.
- MacBook construction — on many MacBooks the keyboard is part of the top case, raising the cost.
- Spill damage — a liquid spill may have reached the board, which we'll check before quoting.
- Full keyboard vs single key — one or two keys can sometimes be repaired far cheaper.
- Genuine vs compatible — both carry our warranty; we explain the difference and price first.
