HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,500, brand new and sealed, in black with a US English layout and no backlight. This HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard is an original replacement keyboard built to the factory fit and connector, with the familiar pointing stick in the centre and its ribbon cables already attached. Collect it from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for countrywide pay-on-arrival delivery. Mascom International sells it as a part only, so a technician of your choice handles the fitting.
Built for accountants, sales teams and university students across Kenya whose EliteBook still runs well but types badly. A dead E key, a sticky space bar or a row that quit after a tea spill can stall a KRA iTax return or a client invoice. The HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard fixes that for a fraction of a new laptop, keeping the processor, SSD and screen you already rely on. Office IT staff who maintain fleets of these machines also keep the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard on the shelf as a spare, because one typing fault should not bench a working notebook for a week.
Unlike other electronics retailers in Kenya that sell keyboards from a photo and hope for the best, Mascom International lets you bring the laptop to our Kimathi Street counter and compare the part against it. Prefer not to travel into town? Send a photo of the base label on WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 and we confirm the match before you order. Buyers throughout Kenya tell us that one check spares them a wasted trip to the repair shop. Nairobi orders arrive the same day, and every other county pays only when the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard arrives.
Common Questions About the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard
Is the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard worth KSh 2,500 in Kenya?
Yes, for any 840 G7 that works well apart from its keys, KSh 2,500 is the cheapest way to make it fully usable again. Compare that with a replacement business laptop costing many times more, plus the hours spent moving files and reinstalling software. You keep your existing machine, your data and your licences. The money goes into one part, and the rest of the laptop carries on doing its job at your desk or on site.
How can I tell whether my laptop uses the US layout?
Look at three keys before you order the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard. On a US layout, the @ symbol sits above the 2, Enter is a single wide row, and the backslash key sits directly above Enter. A UK board instead shows a quotation mark above 2, a tall inverted-L Enter and a £ sign on 3. If you are unsure, send Mascom International a photo of your current keys on WhatsApp and we will tell you which layout you have.
Should I buy this keyboard or the KSh 4,000 backlit version?
Choose the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard at KSh 2,500 if you type in daylight or a well-lit office and your current board never had a light. The HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Backlit Keyboard costs KSh 1,500 more and lights the keys for evening work. That glow only works if your motherboard supports a keyboard backlight, so an unlit laptop gains nothing from the dearer part. Students and day-shift office users usually save the difference.
Will the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard fit an 840 G8, 745 G7 or ZBook Firefly 14 G7?
The HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard is made for the 840 G7, and that is the fit we stand behind. Parts sellers commonly list the same module for the 840 G8, 845 G7, 845 G8 and some ZBook 14u models. The 745 G7 and ZBook Firefly 14 G7 are worth checking with us before you buy. Bring the laptop to Kimathi Street or send the base label photo, and Mascom International confirms the match first.
Does Mascom International fit the keyboard for me?
No, Mascom International sells the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard as a part only and does not offer fitting or installation. Replacing it means opening the base and working inside the laptop, so most buyers take it to a trusted technician or their company IT desk. We do help before purchase, though. You can compare the part against your machine at our counter, or confirm the match through a WhatsApp photo, so the technician receives the correct board.
What should I tell my technician before fitting the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard?
Tell your technician the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard arrives with ribbon cables attached and no screws, so the old screws must be kept safely. The swap leaves your SSD and files alone, so no data transfer is needed. Agree that every key, the pointing stick and the function row get tested before the base is closed. Finally, remind them that fitting damage is not covered, so careful handling of the ribbon connector protects your purchase.
My keys stopped working after a spill on the way to work. Will a new keyboard fix it?
Often yes, if the liquid only reached the keyboard and the rest of the laptop still powers on and works normally. Tea or soda spilled during a bumpy matatu ride usually ruins the key membrane first, and a fresh HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard replaces exactly that layer. If the laptop shuts down, will not charge or shows other faults, have a technician check the motherboard before buying. Spill damage on the new part is excluded from warranty.
Who should buy the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Keyboard, and who should skip it?
Buy it if you own an 840 G7 with a US layout, no backlight, and keys that are failing. It suits budget-conscious students, small offices and IT teams keeping several machines running. Skip it if your laptop originally had a lit keyboard, because the HP EliteBook 840 G7 US Backlit Keyboard is the better match. Owners of a UK-layout machine should pick the HP EliteBook 840 G7 UK Backlit Keyboard, and 840 G3 or G5 owners need their own model.
Technical Specifications
Key Layout and Typing Feel
- US English layout with @ above the 2, so email addresses type the way US-layout owners expect.
- Single-row Enter key with backslash directly above it, matching the factory US arrangement on the 840 G7.
- Full function row across the top keeps volume, brightness and screen shortcuts in their usual places.
- Chiclet-style keys with spacing built to the factory fit, so the lid closes without pressing on the caps.
- Non-backlit design, which suits laptops that shipped without a keyboard light and keeps the price at KSh 2,500.
- Black key caps and frame blend with the original grey-silver chassis without looking like a mismatched repair.
Pointing Stick and Navigation
- Integrated pointing stick sits between the G, H and B keys, exactly where 840 G7 users expect it.
- The stick works with the laptop's existing pointing-stick buttons, so cursor control returns once the part is fitted.
- Typists who move the cursor without lifting their hands from the home row keep that habit intact.
- Useful on a cramped matatu seat or a small café table where there is no room for a mouse.
- Touchpad users lose nothing, since the touchpad is a separate component and stays as it is.
Compatibility and Fit Checks
- Built for the HP EliteBook 840 G7 chassis with US layout, the fit Mascom International stands behind.
- Parts sellers commonly list the same module for 840 G8, 845 G7, 845 G8 and ZBook 14u models, worth checking with us.
- EliteBook 745 G7 and ZBook Firefly 14 G7 owners should confirm the match with Mascom International before ordering.
- Not for 840 G3, G5 or G9 machines, whose keyboards differ in size, connector and mounting points.
- Base-label photo on WhatsApp +254 708 852 521 is the fastest way to confirm your exact model.
Connectors and Fitting Notes
- Ribbon cables come attached to the keyboard, so no separate cable needs sourcing before the fitting.
- Supplied as a keyboard module without palmrest, so your existing top cover and touchpad stay in place.
- No screws are included because the laptop's existing screws secure the new keyboard in its frame.
- Fitting requires opening the base, a job for a technician or office IT desk rather than a first-time DIY attempt.
- Mascom International sells the part only and does not offer fitting, so plan the installation before collecting it.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Brand new and sealed membrane gives every key a fresh contact, ending the double letters and dead strokes of worn boards.
- Black finish hides finger marks better than lighter keys during long days of typing in a dusty Nairobi office.
- Regular cleaning with a soft brush keeps grit from Thika Road commutes out from under the caps.
- Liquid remains the main threat, so a closed bottle and a spill-free bag protect the part's 6-month cover.
- Key caps sit flat and even across the deck, which keeps the board comfortable for long reports and spreadsheets.
Grade, Condition and Value
- Original replacement grade built to the factory fit and connector, sold as brand new and sealed stock.
- Protective packing keeps the ribbon cables flat in transit, so they reach your technician without creases or tears.
- Costs KSh 1,500 less than the US backlit version, a saving that suits laptops without a keyboard light.
- Six months of Mascom cover on a KSh 2,500 part works out to under KSh 14 per day of protection.
- Colour is black, the standard finish for this keyboard and the one held in stock at Kimathi Street.
