    My brother has a Targa traveller laptop on which he broke the keyboard. I think Targa uses MSI parts but i cannot find a replacement keyboard by MSI!
    Are other laptop brand keyboards compatible with targa (MSI)?
    please help!

    Asus sent me a new one under warranty; might be worth a shot to give your manufacturer a call and see what they can do.

    well... this is not under warranty anymore... (i think) and i was kind of hoping there was some other compatible brand because this 1 wasn't very good to be honest. (had some too sensitive keys and some not sensitive enough)

    That will be hard because usually only one company makes keyboard for notebook. (like you cant use dell keyboard on HP notebook). So your only option is to contact manufacturer of your notebook.
