Keyboard

What to do next with the keyboard?

Notebook "production" DNS in fact Pegatron C17A. I worked for two years after that, different buttons began to fail in turn, and this happened within about two weeks, I don’t hammer on the keyboard, and even more so, I didn’t spill anything on it. I bought a replacement:
4ip.info/products/7776 I
worked for 4 months and the same problems started. It costs quite a lot (compared to other laptop keyboards), and the quality is disgusting ...... Where is the guarantee if I buy again that it will not fail again.
Can anyone advise where you can buy exactly QUALITY keyboards?
I really need help, changing a laptop at today's prices is not an option, and the laptop itself is essentially not bad (not counting the claudia)
PS On Aliexpress, the price tag for them is even higher.

Try to order the keyboard where it will be under warranty.
They are most likely made in one place (Pegatron factory) and if it's just a marriage on the scale of the entire batch, then only a guarantee from the seller will save you.

Well, the warranty is 3 months, so it's done its job.
Has the laptop warranty expired? Perhaps it is worth handing it over as having a significant drawback.
If not, look for other retailers. 3k for a keyboard for a cheap laptop (it may be expensive, but the brand does not inspire) is too much. For example, the parts direct always monitors the quality - so far I have only had the perfect experience of buying spare parts with them. Perhaps they have a keyboard called something else (for example, the laptop was a Packard bal, and the dns just hung a nameplate on it, then there will be 99.5% hardware compatibility with the corresponding model)
You could have come across an unsuccessful instance. The first one didn't fall apart in 4 months, did it? so the next one might have a chance.
Use an external keyboard - the most inconvenient, but the most reliable and economical option.
And some keyboards are also disassembled and repaired, I didn’t do it myself, since there were always parts, but in Moscow there is one office on Voykovskaya, which once definitely hunted for it. You can try to carefully disassemble at least one of the two yourself, find the problem and glue it back - most likely there is no electronics there, only a flexible contact board and buttons on which either the mechanics were damaged or the coating was erased. Spraying on buttons can be replaced with foil, for example, but on a flexible board you have to think, but there are also options from rose alloy to the same foil and electrically conductive markers and pens.
