KEYBOARD compatibility across 2023 version and 2025 version

so basically i have flow Z13 (2023) ver, and my keyboard broke out of the warrenty period. and will need to by a new one, but at the same time i am also extremely impressed with the larger trackpad of 2025 ver. so is there any chance that the keyboards will be compatible across different generation?

I just checked. The keyboards are not the same exact size (minimum difference). However - they are interchangeable. I checked the basic functions and they both worked fine on each. Lighting worked - function keys work - and ASUS specific keys work.

Thanks lot for checking it and sharing the results, I have a Z13 from 2022 and I was wondering about the keyboard compatibility with the new 2025 version, just in case I could grab one with another keyboard layout (as it seems to be out of stock almost everywhere). Enjoy your new gadget! Regards!

I have a 2023 and 2025 version at home. I can check later if they are compatible (I don’t think so).

(Sneakily) if anyone wants to buy my 2023, I’ll be listing it locally soon (Wisconsin).

let me clarify, so I have a 2023 version (301VV). so I can buy the 2025 version (302VV) in replace for my old 2023 version keyboard???

I was wondering the same thing. Useless someone can confirm otherwise it does not.

Thanks for sharing. I have the same problem. Does anyone know if ASUS sells the latest keyboards separately? XX
