    So my Asus G73JH has been going strong for almost 5 years now! Unbelievable!

    Today, I was doing my almost daily routine of wiping down the keyboard with a damp cloth, something I've done since I bought the thing.

    I hop into CSGO and I notice some keypresses aren't registering, strange. I look further into this and it turns out most of my number keys aren't working apart from 5, back space doesn't work, Q. C. K, etc.

    I tried a bunch of things like uninstalling drivers completely, resetting the cable and whatnot, so now I've decided I need to get a replacement. The last time I asked ya'll for help was YEARS ago when I got it, and I have come to seek your help again NBR. Which keyboard is the best/safest bet to get? I don't wanna spend more than 50 bucks. I saw one on Amazon without the backlighting for 15 bucks but I really don't wanna lose that feature because it looks so awesome.

    Could you guys please direct me to some options? Thank you!

    Have you contacted your original reseller if it was a custom shop or looked on ebay?

    I got it from Best Buy originally so I doubt they will be of any use unless I wanna fork over a ton of money. I've decided to go with this one

    It doesn't have the backlighting but I don't really care for that feature, It has good reviews on Amazon so I can safely bite the bullet for it.
