Câu hỏi
Người đọc SuperUser Eman Slitheran muốn biết liệu tốt hơn là nên mua các phím đơn hoặc thay thế toàn bộ bàn phím:
The keyboard on my Asus ROG G73JH-A1 laptop was recently damaged with several of the keys having been ripped off. I would like to know which repair option is better:
- Purchasing single keys online to replace the ones missing on my laptop’s keyboard
- Replacing the entire keyboard
Có tốt hơn khi mua các phím đơn hoặc thay thế toàn bộ bàn phím không?

In broad/general terms, the answer depends on how common your keyboard is, how much you are “married” to it, and whether you are 100 percent positive that it is a simple case where you just need to replace the ripped off key caps.
For example, this website sells single keyboard keys for an average cost of around $5 each, which seems like a decent deal at first. But just doing a casual check shows that getting three replacement keys for a MacBook Air (MD711LL/A) keyboard would run approximately $27 without shipping included.
But then a quick look on eBay for a full replacement keyboard for a MacBook Air (MD711LL/A) shows that there are whole keyboards available with free shipping that are much cheaper than buying a handful of single keys.
In the case of your specific laptop model, an Asus ROG G73JH-A1, a quick search on eBay (using Asus G73 as the search term) shows that you can purchase a complete, brand new replacement keyboard for approximately $8 and up with free shipping. So in my opinion, a full replacement keyboard is your best bet.
In general, even without knowing what make/model of laptop you have, I believe that purchasing a full replacement keyboard will always cost less than purchasing individual keys. The nature of the way many keyboards are manufactured these days-small components, very little standardization, and even variance in size/shape/layout within a model line-makes them essentially disposable commodity components.
A full keyboard replacement is a common commodity that can often be purchased for less than individual keys. Changing individual keys is an anachronism at best nowadays and only seems to happen when one really wants to customize their laptop’s look or they are using editing tools with elaborate key combos that require a custom set of key caps.
