Replacement Backlit Keyboard for ASUS ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 GA503Q GA503QS ‎GA503QR GA503QM & ROG Zephyrus M16 GU603 GU603H Series Laptop, ROG Zephyrus G15 GA503 RGB Backlit Keyboad US Layout

My laptop was involved in an accident where some liquid was spilled and, before it could be cleaned, enough managed to seep into the keyboard that several keys stopped working, even after multiple rounds of cleaning and drying. Purchased this keyboard because it was one of the few offering prime shipping and it arrived on-time, two days after the order was placed. I've done a lot of laptop repairs in the past, anything from simple upgrades, battery swaps, screen/fan replacements, and even a motherboard or two, but replacing this keyboard was one of the most difficult repairs I've ever performed. To replace the keyboard you must remove the motherboard. Several videos suggest removing the fans/heatsink, but I opted to simply remove the motherboard/fans/heatsink together and just carefully flip it over out of the way. This part was actually pretty easy and revealed the keyboard. Replacing the actual keyboard itself is where the difficulty increases. First you have to carefully peel back the plastic cover stuck to the back of the existing keyboard and this reveals the next challenge, the keyboard is held to the case with ~70 extremely tiny screws which must all be removed. Be sure to take a picture of exactly what screws are installed as the keyboard has about 75 holes, but a few seemed to not be used, for whatever reason (maybe slightly different per laptop model/keyboard layout, not really sure). These screws are incredibly small and extremely shallow, and getting each one removed and then put back was extremely time consuming. I spent about 3 hours in total on the repair. Probably 15 minutes was wasted because one of the screws appeared to be stripped from the factory. Nothing I could do managed to budge it loose. Since the existing keyboard was broken anyway, I eventually just destroy the keyboard enough to pop it off without removing that single screw and then worked the screw out with a pair of needle nose pliers. This left me with one too few screws, but I strategically selected a spot that appeared to already have plenty of support and, so far, I can't tell that it is missing. After powering the laptop back on I thought the LED backlight was not working, it just kept changing modes and I couldn't toggle the modes with the keyboard like normal, but, after about 5-10 minutes or so, this seemed to just self correct. I'm not sure if it was flashing firmware or what (they keyboard worked the entire time, only the lighting was inconsistent). After this time it suddenly settled into my previous settings (static color, 2/3rds brightness) and the keyboard toggle started working and everything seems as good as the original keyboard. Overall, none of the problems I experienced were the result of this product, so this vendor and the part get 5 stars. If you have less experience with laptop repair or lack the patience to remove and replace ~70 tiny screws, some vendors sell the entire top shell with the keyboard already in it. This requires swapping the mother board and display cables/hinges to a new top shell, so also not easy, but probably would likely take less time overall. These top shell+keyboard combos are significantly more expensive though, but I think it's worth noting. Good luck!

This is a decent product. It's cheap, matches the original's RGB close enough and was easy enough to install (though it did take a minute). Where it loses points are the fit and the feel. It looks the part but the plastic cover adhered to the back is off center from some of the screwholes blocking blocking the screw from going in as it did originally. There's also a stanchion for the laptops platic bottom cover that does not line up with the original, this means I can screw in one of the screws when reassembling. Laptop still feels solid without it, but it's worth noting. The space bar is sub par as well - it registers fine in the middle 2/3 but when you press on the edges there's a chance it misses your input. Get this product if you just want your laptop to work again, don't get it if you want an exact replica of your original keyboard.

I mean it's exactly what you'd expect, so I'll only mention the things I didn't expect: - the plastic material for the keys has this slight purple color. More specifically, it's as if the color of the plastic is correct but the coating causes a purple shine? It's not a big deal. - the keyboard swap process takes 2-3 hours, but you don't have to take the cooler heatsinks off of the motherboard and therefore you don't need any extra liquid metal or thermal paste. - If you decide to freshen up the liquid metal and get rid of any oxidation, keep in mind the process for factory-assembled liquid metal cooling solutions is not like DIY. Look for PS5 repairs for examples. - there's 50-60 screws holding the (very flexible) keyboard to the metal frame that goes between the keys. The screws are easy to strip, even with a proper P000 bit. It's also easy to over tighten them and ruin the holes they screw into. I ruined 3 screws and 3 holes. - there's a giant black sticker on the underside of the stock keyboard... not sure what that's for, maybe light bleed? in any case, I didn't transfer it to the new keyboard since I kind of ruined it.

Realistically, for a cheap replacement, it’s 9/10. I round down to reflect a deduction, it could be the way I applied it or the way it came, but one of the keys get stuck very tiny bit, which isn’t a big deal but it is something to note. Otherwise does the job well, LED backlight works nicely although I don’t really care for that. FYI: remove the copper plate carefully as it is can tear easily and there are also screws behind it.

The keyboard has good key feedback and works well, although sometimes, when pressing four keys simultaneously, it accidentally presses other keys that aren't meant to be pressed. I'm giving it one star because, despite these issues, what mattered most to me was the RGB backlighting, and that information in the description is false; it only has white backlighting. This is all as of January 24, 2026.

I'd been struggling with a keyboard that only works when it felt like it for months (s, 5, 6, 0, etc randomly stopped working). I thought it was a software problem at first because I was able to fix it using multiple different methods found online but for whatever reason, each of these methods only work a couple times before I had to try something new. Eventually it got to the point where nothing I did would help. I do not like the idea of sending my personal laptop to some random person at asus so I decided to have my husband try replacing the keyboard at home. We both are pretty good at taking electronics apart and putting them back together but even so, the process was a pain. You have to remove everything to get to the keyboard. After about 3+ hours, I am happy to report that my keyboard is working perfectly again and it looks exactly the same. I did not get the purple hue like some reviews mentions.

The item is as advertised, but seller forgot to mention I have to buy a new half-case for laptop to make use of it...

Careful! If you laptop doesn't support RGB backlighting, the keyboard will be stuck on one color, and I think it's up to chance what color it will be! There's NO WAY to fix this with drivers or software. The only fix is to solder new transistors onto your motherboard and flash a different BIOS. Otherwise, not a difficult repair, just an ungodly amount of microscopic screws, and a couple tricky ribbon cables.

Me decidí por comprar es Teclado para mi Asus Zephyrus M16 GU603ZM, debido a que después de 7 meses de uso, comenzó a tener problemas con las Teclas 2wsxz donde a veces detectaba o no 😔 las pulsaciones. Después de instalar este Teclado que me llegó, problema solucionado y hasta se sienten muy bien las teclas y funciono muy bien con la retroiluminacion. Se los recomiendo si tienen el mismo problema que tenia yo. Solo esperare un tiempo y actualizaré mi opinión para decirles que tal me ha funcionado.
