I got my son a RAK mechanical keyboard for the Asus i5 laptop since he plays a lot of FPSs. Very good value for 2k and it's a local company too.

I already replaced my Lenovo G40's keyboard twice. The replacements work great but the Fn keys layout is not the same.
One useful tip I got from work-at-home groups is to use an external keyboard when you're at home. So when I bought the second replacement, I threw in a wireless keyboard as well. It's more comfortable when working for hours aside from saving the laptop keyboard from wear and tear. You break it, it's easier to replace.

Same here. I use a mouse and external keyboard on all my laptops. I have a cheap Perixx chiclet keyboard for my laptop. It's corded keyboard. But, it also is backlit. I don't have to worry about wearing out the WASD keys on the laptop.

Saan kaya makakabili ng high-quality repalcement parts for laptop. Nagloloko na keyboard at battery ng Lenovo Ideapad ng anak ko eh. Online sana. Sa province kasi ako.

Manila City Plaza likod ng Quiapo Church or Gilmore. They have cheap bat replacement even the polymer-types and keyboards. Not worth repairing the pack since it will just give you problems with the finish and durability. You may discard the old 18650 batteries, recover the working ones, and use on taclight or any 18650 projects.

Old case of my laptop broke so have to use it naked for now. Order from Lazada ships from overseas so likely will be delayed. Made me realize it looks really nice without a case - other MBP owners, do you use a case for your laptops? Looks nice but deliks if magkadent since it's so visible.

Yeah my other laptop meron na rin mga gasgas kahit never nabagsak. Di lang halata kasi carbon fibre vs the aluminum finish on the Mac.

Like iPhone ang ganda talaga pag bare kaso very vulnerable talaga. Tsaka parang takaw gasgas din yung finish ng MB?

Ano case gamit mo bro? Maghahanap pa lang ako, isa lang available ni BTB hindi ko trip.

And gusto ko hindi gaano makapal yung case, nga pala wala ba issue re: cooling pag may case ang MB?

Inorder ko lang from Lazada yung case ko before. Mura nga (600 lang IIRC) pero 1 year lang tumagal. Better buy yung mga branded like yung mga nasa Powermac. Yung sa MBP ng dad ko parang 2 years na hindi parin nasisira yung Speck case niya, parang 1.8k ata yun. Plus the branded ones have better design for cooling too and manipis lang din.

Edit: So I read around and generally people advise against using cases and covers because of the heating issue. So probably won't get a replacement case anymore for my laptop. Di naman siya usually nababagsak pag ginagamit, damage happens during transport and I have a laptop case for that.

I personally don’t use cases on the MBs I’ve owned. But I do put them in a slip cover when I carry them in a bag (to prevent scratches).

I did drop one of them a few years back onto a concrete pavement which left a small dent on the side. A plastic encased laptop might have shattered with bits flying everywhere.

I’ve become a lot more careful when taking them out of my bag now.
