Replacement Keyboard for Dell G5 5500 5587 5590, G5 SE 5505, G7 7588 7590 7790, G3 3579 3779 3590 Series Game Laptop, Dell G5 5587 Replacement Keyboard with Blue Frame with Backlit US Layout

I bought this to replace the keyboard on my laptop since several of the keys quite working. It was fairly easy to replace and works great.

This fits DELL G7 perfect. However, I didn't notice when ordering that this one doesn't provide the backlighting like the original. I noticed after I had taken laptop apart and there was no extra ribbon cable to power the backlighting. Otherwise, this is a perfect replacement - no fitment issues and I would definitely recommend if you don't care about not having the backlighting.

It states there back light, but it does not turn on except the CAP LOCK. The fit is a little bit off, although it still fits in the frame. Already installed it spending 1hour, don’t want to repeat the process to take it off and return.

worked just fine. but the keyboard does not light up. without being in a lit area keys are unreadable

Keyboard works great. As others have mentioned this is not an easy swap. I am fairly techy and replaced a laptop screen before, but this was much more challenging. You have to take the entire laptop apart. I followed a YT video. You need the 2 small Phillips heads, and you need a set of the tech plastic pry tools (not sure the official word for them) Lots of ribbons to unplug and plug back in...HDD, keyboard, monitor, battery, power, etc. Use a magnetic matt or some system for keeping track of all the screws...there's about 40-50. If you are techy, patient, and take your time, it's def doable. If you are not those 3 and don't want to buy the above tools then I'd skip it.

Expected keyboard for my laptop

Not an exact fit. Very cheaply made. Need to be careful installing

I got the blue backlit model and it's a near-perfect replacement. The only difference between it and the original is that the original had highlighted WASD keys. (I guess for gamers who want a gaming laptop but don't already know which keys are the traditional movement keys?) Installation tip: Dell has the laptop service manual online, which includes complete disassembly instructions. Get it. You have to remove practically every other component to get to the keyboard. I recommend keeping each component's screws in separate *labeled* containers. It makes it *so* much easier to reassemble. Also, be aware you'll need tiny little screwdrivers. All the screws are Phillips head, but you'll need size 0 and 000 drivers.

Execelent!

Went in easy enough. Getting to it wasn't so bad. Lots of plastic welds holding the back of the board on. Used a small chisel to clip them off. The lights are not as bright as the original board had. All in all, it's a good price.

malo, no se ven las teclas, ni con la iluminacion

Delivered with care did the job

Product fitted perfectly into place and works. My only gripe is the backlighting. More light is emitted from around the key edges than through the key face, especially at an angle like using the laptop with table and chair. I think I'd go with the genuine one next time.
