    Hi everyone.

    I have a W3J and I would like to one day replace my keyboard, its already getting weared out after 6 months of usage. My old HPs keys hasnt even weared out after 2 years, well maybe only slightly, but the Asus one is weared out even more then the HP!

    Dont get me wrong tho, the structural integrity of the W3J has gotta be one of the best from Asus, but its just the keys are pissing me off everytime i use the laptop, cos it makes the whole laptop look very used and old.

    Are there keyboards not from Asus available that will fit the W3J?

    I dont have to get it replaced tho, its just a thought for the future.

    Jeremy

    If you're talking about 3rd party keyboards, no, I doubt those exist, especially for a smaller company like Asus.

    You probably won't be even able to find the Asus keyboards on eBay. You should contact whoever sold you the laptop and buy a replacement keyboard.

    you can buy new keyboards for the w3j probably from the asus estore. you can also consider a keyboard cover to keep your keyboard from wearing...

    Any warranties that may cover it?

    i believe it is covered by warranty....and i think they will just ship you a replacement keyboard and you send your old keyboard back.
