EZBook 3 Pro Keyboard Part search

[Chupa]

take one from a key you do not use.

In my case i disabled the on/off button.

you can always use these things from seldom used keys and fix the key back with double sided foam tape (for mounting mirrors) Just cut out a little circle.

Nobody sells these little plastic things, you need to dismantle a old keyboard or get a new replacement keyboard.

Just talk to GB and have them send a replacement keyboard, much cheaper than 2 way postage.

Thank you for your reply. I won’t return the laptop. I have BT Mac keyboard and I started using it. I’ll try with the tape to fix back the key.

Gearbest told me they don’t have such part and gave me 30 USD as compensation.

I made 3d model of the plastic and now I’ll check is it possible to print it. It is not very precise, since I don’t see good to take the exact dimensions, but I believe it should match

That is a good idea, somebody should scan and 3d print them

Did it work? Anyone else knows a solution? Broke my Z Key unfortunately

I actually might have found a interesting solution.

The normal Apple ultrabook clones have all the same stupid layout and spacing like the original, including the retarded placement of the power button.
These are all modeled after the apple often with a 285mm / 11.2″ width and 120mm /4.7″ height.
This is more or less the area of the keyboard what is a bit recessed and a bit wider than just the key area.
The normal keys are 15mm square.

How about you get yourself an external Apple android win keyboard to get all the key caps or mechanisms you like to fix your Jumper keyboard?

I might give it a try since I am a sucker for white keys.

I measured the Jumper 3s 14″ and the Thomson 13″ both have 15.5 mm wide and 15.0mm high keys.

The 15.6″ Tbao has a bit bigger keys 15.6mm x 15.6mm

The mechanism seems the same all over.

 

Just switch all the keys and you have yourself an even better apple clone.

Hi, so do you think is it possible to replace the very bad keyboard of the ezb3pro with another one? For example recovering one from an apple-like external keyboard? I mean the whole board not only the caps. I think the connectors or the plug should be the same just like the shape of the item. Let me know. Ty

just answered these questions on your other post
