I bought this when my Inspiron 5100 lost some keys. It looks exactly the same, feels the same and all. My hot keys are matching colors as well. It's a type of purplish-blue common on Dell products. I would buy again!

When the keybpad stopped workign for certain keys, my first thought was - I need a new laptop!!! Yikes!!! But, I put the problem and model into Google, and found a Youtube video explaining exactly how to replace the keypad! I ordered this keypad, it came in packaged perfectly, I reviewed the Youtube video again and changed the thing in 7 minutes!!!! My laptop has been saved for a small price and I did it myself! I know this product saved me a hundred dollars in diagnosis and repair fees!!! It has been working perfectly since!!! ANYBODY can change the keypad!!! Do not even worry about it. Do what I did and and save a ton of money! Great product!

The keyboard arrived promptly and was well packaged. But I didn't look at it at first. To my horror, there was no connector on the keyboard ribbon! Panic! Google to the rescue. Turns out it is very easy to remove the connector from the original keyboard cable and to insert the new ribbon. There are two little keys on each side of the original connect and you just need to gently push them toward the outside and it releases the cable. Push in new cable and close.

I used this page to guide me [...]

To be fair, they never said they included the connector. My bad for assuming. And I think this is where some other people have gone wrong and thus given poor reviews.

I did contact the company in my disappointment and they responded in a very understanding manner. They were totally ready to take the keyboard back at their expense. But I'm happy to report that a return wasn't necessary.
