What the kit includes

The repair kit includes the key cap, retainer clip, and rubber cup for the selected HP EliteBook key.

Why replace one key

A single-key repair is usually faster and less expensive than replacing a working keyboard assembly.

Exact model matching

HP keyboard parts vary by model, so start from the EliteBook model list before selecting a key.

How to identify your HP EliteBook key type

Confirm the full model number before ordering. EliteBook laptops can use different keyboard layouts and retainer clips across generations, so use the model list to open the exact product page before selecting your key.

Step-by-step replacement overview

  1. Find the exact EliteBook model number on the bottom cover, BIOS screen, or system information panel.
  2. Open the matching HP EliteBook model page from the series browse list.
  3. Select the damaged key from the keyboard layout.
  4. Compare any retainer clip options shown for that model.
  5. Install the replacement retainer, rubber cup, and key cap.
  6. Test the key travel and confirm the key registers normally.

Work slowly when removing the old key. Laptop key clips are small plastic parts, and forcing the cap sideways can damage the keyboard base.

When to replace one key instead of the full keyboard

Replacing one key is the right choice when the issue is limited to a missing cap, broken retainer clip, loose key, worn legend, or damaged rubber cup. A full keyboard replacement is usually only needed when many keys fail together, the keyboard base is physically damaged, or liquid reached the keyboard electronics.
