Do you have to use the keyboard that comes with the case assembly? My keys are fine I just need a top case assembly part. Help?

The top case IS the keyboard. It includes the keyboard, the white around the keyboard, and also the touchpad. It would be difficult to take it apart and separate those.

I was unable to make my case work, but I did take the keyboard out of the case and used it elsewhere. I am sorry that I can not help you out. If you can return it that is what I would do.

Hi Mindy, I bought a new case for my tablet/mobile dock, but it did have the capability to accomodate the keyboard.

The keyboard comes totally assembled, but you will have to put the stand and stool together. It's very easy to do and comes with all necessary tools. It took me about 5 minutes.

Mine fits with the keyboard attached. At first it was a little difficult for the magnetic snap to fit together just right but after a few times of pulling it in and out of the case makes it fit perfectly. Hope that helps!

The keyboard for this case is built-in. I don't think you can easily remove and replace it.

Yes, however you will need to use the number keys at the top of the keyboard.I haven't solved this situation!

Yes, the keybord is easily removed and replaced. The case is fully functional with or withiut the keybord. It is slightly bulkier with the keybord, so I use when I have more text to enter.

There are little clips along the very top. They can easily be disconnected with a flat screw driver. Once disconnected, the keyboard will come out. Try searching YouTube for an instructional video. If there isn't a video for your model, try searching for one of the other models this keyboard works with. Search for model and the words "asus keyboard".

You can replace just the keyboard, but it's not a simple task. You will basically have to take out every component in your laptop to get to the keyboard. I think the official Apple genius/repair stance is that you don't replace just the keyboard, you replace the entire top case. But it is possible to replace just the keyboard.

I used some small pieces of rubber and some zip ties... but the keyboard support does not come with any such contrivance.

I replaced my own keyboard. There's a YouTube video that shows how. You DO need to be careful; and it's not quite as easy as the video shows... e.g. the ribbon from the keyboard to the motherboard needs to be crimped slightly on the sides in order to fit it into the motherboard slot. But I'm an old lady with no techie expertise; and I did it successfully. Tools needed - both a standard flathead AND a TINY phillips screwdriver.

Mine was the same color on top as it was on the bottom. But I don't have anything that actually covers the keyboard itself if that is what you were talking about. That didn't come with mine.

My keyboard never worked. It does make a terrific carrying case. I apologize for my inability to answer your question, but it never worked.

This answer is from a previous review which they initially gave 1 star... The following is a fix for the sticky keys..In a last-ditch effort, I pulled all the primary keys off and used a Q-tip and petroleum jelly to lubricate the slots where all the keys are installed. Once I snapped all the keys back in place....WOW....THIS WAS THE PERFECT KEYBOARD. It now works very smoothly and I still enjoy the benefit of the back-lighting and easy read letters. I wish I had done this easy fix when I first received it.

The one I have does not - but that said, I've been very pleased with its performance, love the keyboard and the "case" functionality, well worth the $.

I have buttons that keep popping off the top row. I advise you to save up and buy a better quality keyboard. That's what I am doing.
