HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 2,500, an original replacement part for HP's 2018-2019 Pavilion x360 14-cd convertible family. It arrives brand new and sealed, with standard non-backlit black keys and the frameless design HP uses on this series, so only the key deck itself gets replaced. The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard suits both the 14-cd0xxx and 14-cd1xxx generations, plus the 14m-cd and 14t-cd versions sold abroad. Collect yours from Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery.
Young professionals and small-business owners feel a dead keyboard fast. One missing letter turns a KRA iTax return, a supplier invoice or a client email into a slow copy-and-paste exercise. Many buyers chose this HP convertible as their first serious laptop, and a stuck spacebar or a row of silent keys rarely justifies a whole new machine. The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard fixes that problem at a fraction of what another convertible costs. Your touchscreen, hinge, files and installed software all stay exactly as they were, and you return to normal typing once the part is fitted.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell unmarked copies with loose keycaps, Mascom International stocks the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard, the original part HP designed for this chassis. Customers across Nairobi tell us the key travel and spacing feel just like the board they replaced, which matters if you type all day. Because layouts differ between imported laptops, our team checks your Enter key shape and model label over WhatsApp before anything ships. The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard travels countrywide with pay-on-arrival delivery, or you can walk in and compare it against your own laptop at our Kimathi Street counter.
Common Questions About the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard
Which laptops does the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard fit?
The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard fits HP's Pavilion x360 14-cd convertible, covering 14-cd0xxx models from 2018 and 14-cd1xxx models from 2019. The 14m-cd and 14t-cd versions sold in the United States share the same body. Check the label under your laptop for a model name starting with 14-cd. If yours reads 14-ce, 14-dh or 14-ba, send Mascom International a photo on WhatsApp first, because those are different machines and the fit must be confirmed before you pay.
How do I check whether my laptop uses a UK or US keyboard layout?
Look at the Enter key: a tall, two-row Enter shaped like an upside-down L means UK layout, while a wide single-row Enter means US layout. A UK board also carries an extra key beside the left Shift. The product number on the base label helps too, since HP adds #ABU to UK units and #ABA to US units. Mascom International matches the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard layout against your photo on WhatsApp before dispatch, so the symbols you type land where you expect.
Is the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard worth KSh 2,500 instead of buying another laptop?
Yes, for most owners whose only fault is the keys. At KSh 2,500, the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard costs a small fraction of any working replacement laptop in Kenya today. The rest of your convertible, including the touchscreen, 360-degree hinge, storage and Windows licence, keeps working as before. For a small-business owner sending quotations and M-Pesa statements every day, restoring one part is the cheapest sensible fix. Replace the whole laptop only when the screen, motherboard or battery has also failed.
HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard vs an external USB keyboard like the Logitech K120, which is better?
The fitted HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard is the better choice if you carry your laptop or use tent and tablet modes. A Logitech K120 works as a desk stopgap, but it occupies a USB port, needs a flat surface and trails a cable across your table. On a matatu, at a client office or in a café, an external board quickly becomes clumsy. The internal keyboard restores the convertible to one tidy unit, which is the whole reason most people chose this laptop.
Who should buy the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard, and who should skip it?
Buy it if your 14-cd laptop has dead, sticky or missing keys and you mostly type in daylight or well-lit rooms. Skip it if your machine originally had glowing keys and you depend on them for late-night work, because this board is non-backlit and its keys stay dark. Owners of the HP 14-ba convertible should skip it too; Mascom International stocks a separate backlit keyboard built specifically for that model. Budget-minded owners of a 14-cd get the most value from this part.
How does the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard hold up to dust and spills in Kenya?
The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard has the same tolerance to dust and liquid as the factory original, which means it still needs care. Dust carried in from Thika Road or a busy shop floor settles under keycaps, so a soft brush once a week keeps keys moving freely. Tea and soda spills are a frequent cause of the dead keys we see at our counter. Keep drinks off the palmrest, and switch off immediately if anything spills.
How hard is it to install the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard?
Fitting the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard is a careful technician job, not a quick snap-in swap. The base cover, battery and most internal parts come out first, because this keyboard mounts from inside the palmrest. On many units the old board is also held by small plastic fixing points that must be cleared without cracking the case. If you have never opened a laptop, ask an experienced technician to fit it rather than risk tearing the ribbon cable.
Will the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard switch off in tablet and tent modes?
Yes. The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard plugs into the same motherboard socket as the original, so the laptop still disables it automatically when you fold the screen back into tent or tablet mode. That stops stray keypresses while you tap, sign or scroll on the touchscreen. Nothing needs installing in Windows afterwards; the keyboard is recognised as soon as the laptop boots. Your existing HP shortcuts, language settings and touchpad gestures carry on working without any setup.
Technical Specifications
Core Typing Function
- Full chiclet key layout without a number pad, matching the original 14-inch deck key for key across every row.
- Standard non-backlit black keycaps with light legends, readable in daylight, office lighting and well-lit evening rooms.
- Top-row action keys handle brightness, volume, airplane mode and media playback, just as the factory keyboard did.
- Original HP key mechanism gives familiar travel and feedback, so your usual typing speed returns within a day.
- No drivers or software needed; Windows detects the keyboard the moment the laptop powers on after fitting.
- Works alongside the touchscreen and touchpad, so all three input methods behave exactly as before the fault.
Compatibility and Model Matching
- Built for the HP Pavilion x360 14-cd convertible, first launched in 2018 with refreshed models following in 2019.
- Covers both 14-cd0xxx and 14-cd1xxx units, which together account for every Pavilion x360 14-cd generation.
- Also fits the 14m-cd and 14t-cd variants, the retail and custom-built versions of this chassis sold abroad.
- Connects to the original ribbon socket on the motherboard, with no adapters, extension cables or modifications required.
- Laptops that left the factory with backlighting accept this board, though the keys will not light up.
- Not intended for 14-ba, 14-dh or 14-dy models; confirm any unclear model label on WhatsApp.
Layout Identification
- A tall upside-down-L Enter key spanning two rows tells you the laptop uses the UK keyboard layout.
- A wide single-row Enter key paired with a long left Shift tells you the laptop uses the US layout.
- UK boards add a backslash key beside left Shift and move the @ symbol to the key near Enter.
- HP product numbers ending #ABU indicate UK configuration, while #ABA indicates US configuration on the base label.
- Send a clear photo of your current keyboard on WhatsApp, and our team matches the layout before dispatch.
- The right layout matters for KRA iTax passwords and email logins, where a misplaced @ or quote mark blocks access.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Frameless key deck, meaning the board has no surrounding bezel and sits flush inside your existing palmrest opening.
- Black keycaps suit laptops originally fitted with a dark keyboard; owners of silver-key units will notice the colour change.
- Brand-new switches sit under every key, replacing worn domes that cause doubled letters or missed strokes.
- A fresh flex ribbon cable avoids the creased or cracked connectors common on boards pulled from scrap laptops.
- Keycaps clean easily with a dry microfibre cloth; avoid soaking sprays that seep under the switches and corrode contacts.
- Not spill-proof, so keeping cups off the palmrest protects your KSh 2,500 repair for years of daily typing.
Inclusions and Fitting Requirements
- The part supplied is the keyboard deck alone, without palmrest, top cover, touchpad, screws or tools.
- Fitting means removing the base cover, battery and internal boards so the keyboard can be reached from inside.
- Back up your documents before the repair, since the battery and storage drive are disconnected during the job.
- Choose a technician with HP convertible experience, because a torn ribbon cable is the costliest fitting mistake.
- Test every key in Notepad or an online key tester before the base cover goes back on fully.
- Keep the original screws sorted by position, because mixing lengths can push through and mark the palmrest.
Package Contents
The HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard ships as a bare replacement deck, packed flat in protective wrapping so the keycaps and ribbon reach you undamaged.
- One HP Pavilion x360 14-cd Black Keyboard with its ribbon cable attached
- Protective wrapping over the key surface
No screws, tools, palmrest or top cover come in the pack. The part replaces only the keyboard and reuses the fixings already inside your laptop, which keeps the price down.
