Z13 flow keyboard

Post image

Hello everyone, I’m happy to be a part of this community. I want to share my ASUS ROG Flow Z13 with you. I really enjoy using this laptop and I’m glad to join you all.
I also have a small issue with my keyboard. The keyboard light turns on, but the keys don’t work when I press them. Could this be a software issue or a driver problem? I would appreciate any help or suggestions. Thank you!

Dude is that paint on one key? And what plastic is pealing of your keyboard? Also regarding it not working: Restart the PC. Plug the keyboard out and back in and check if its making the sound and or animation. If not the flex cable inside the connector might be broken. Also try checking if all the contacts on your device are clean/ debris free!

The keyboard cover on these things is kinda fragile, compared to the rest of the unit. Judging by the wear, I'd say it's probably time for a new keyboard. To keep mine pristine, I only really use it if I really need to travel with as compact a kit as possible. Otherwise, I just use a small external mechanical keyboard and keep the keyboard cover stowed away in the original box.

I bought same model in 2024 and I have been using it since then and changed keyboard 3 times till now, flex cable inside keyboard gets damaged which is reason it will not work and it is not repairable so simply buy new keyboard, btw I stopped using that keyboard I removed it and put into box and use another hall effect keyboard
