Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard | Genuine Lenovo Replacement | US Layout with Numeric Keypad | Integrated Power Button | Non-Backlit
Solves the frustration of a budget fifteen-inch model that refuses to boot or skips words, with a swap any competent technician finishes inside an hour.
Condition: New

The original Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard, a US English layout with a full numeric keypad and the built-in power key, sells for KSh 2,500 at Mascom International. Each unit is brand new and sealed, supplied as the part alone with no laptop attached. On this 15.6-inch IdeaPad, the power button sits on the keyboard itself, at the top-right corner beside the number pad. That means a failed Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard can stop the whole computer from switching on. Collect yours at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Students carry budget IdeaPads more than almost any other group of buyers, and their keyboards take a real beating. Assignments typed against a deadline at Kenyatta University or JKUAT, tea spilled during a late group meeting, and dust from Thika Road all wear the keys down. The result is usually a dead letter, a stuck Shift key, or a power key that no longer responds. Accountants, sales staff and small shop owners who run their books on this model face the same problem. Swapping in a fresh Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard brings the machine back without buying a new one.
Where many Nairobi repair stalls fit unbranded copies with loose keycaps and mismatched icons, Mascom International supplies the original Lenovo part. The Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard matches the factory legends, spacing and connector exactly, so Fn shortcuts and the power key behave as they did on day one. Repair technicians across Nairobi tell us that original parts mean fewer return visits from their own customers. Order the Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery, or bring your laptop to our Kimathi Street store and match the part before you pay.
Common Questions About the Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard
Will this keyboard fit my Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK?
Yes, this keyboard is the original Lenovo part made for the IdeaPad 110-15ISK, the 15.6-inch model with Intel 6th-generation processors. Listings for the same part also name the 17-inch IdeaPad 110-17ISK, 110-17ACL and 110-17IKB. The IdeaPad 110-15IBR and 110-15ACL share the series name but can use a different keyboard, so send us a photo of your laptop's underside sticker before ordering. Mascom International checks the model and part number on WhatsApp within minutes during working hours, so you never pay for a keyboard that will not fit.
Does this keyboard include the power button, and why does that matter?
Yes, the power key is built into this keyboard at the top-right corner, beside the numeric keypad, and that is what the word switch refers to. Because the button is part of the keyboard, a damaged keyboard can leave the laptop unable to turn on at all. Many owners assume the motherboard has died when only the keyboard has failed. Replacing it restores both typing and power-on, which often saves a far larger repair bill. Test this first by connecting an external USB keyboard and checking whether the screen and fans respond.
Is this an original Lenovo part, and how does it compare with a cheap copy?
This is an original Lenovo replacement keyboard, matching the factory part supplied with the IdeaPad 110-15ISK. Unbranded copies sold around Nairobi often arrive with weaker keycap clips, faint printing and a ribbon cable that sits loosely in the connector. Some copies even place the power key in the wrong position or leave it out. The genuine part from Mascom International fits the factory mounting tabs exactly, so the deck sits flat and the keys print clearly for years.
Can I install the keyboard myself, and how long does it take?
Most confident users can fit this keyboard in 30 to 60 minutes with a small Phillips screwdriver and a plastic opening tool. The job involves releasing the old keyboard from its clips, unlatching the ribbon connector, then pressing the new one into place. Disconnect the battery and charger first to protect the motherboard. If you would rather not open the laptop, Mascom International can direct you to a trusted technician near our Kimathi Street store in Nairobi CBD.
Is the Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK Keyboard worth KSh 2,500, or should I replace the laptop?
For a laptop that still runs well, KSh 2,500 for a keyboard is far cheaper than any replacement computer in Kenya today. Spread over two years of use, the part works out to roughly KSh 3.42 per day, less than a single matatu fare across town. You keep your files, installed software and familiar setup intact. Replacing the whole machine makes sense only when the processor, storage or screen has also failed, which a quick check at Mascom International can confirm.
Will this keyboard survive Kenyan dust, heat and daily commuting?
Yes, it holds up well if you treat it with basic care, since the keys use the same island-style design Lenovo fitted at the factory. Dust from a dry-season commute into town works its way under the keycaps over time, so a soft brush once a week keeps the switches clean. Keep drinks away from the deck, because liquid is the most common reason these keyboards fail in Kenya. A thin silicone cover adds further protection for students and field workers who type in dusty or crowded places.
Who should buy this keyboard, and who should skip it?
Buy it if your IdeaPad 110-15ISK has dead keys, a stuck key, peeling legends or a power button that no longer responds. Skip it if the laptop body around the keyboard is cracked, or if liquid has also damaged the motherboard, because the new keyboard will not fix those faults. For desk-bound work, a plug-in USB keyboard can be a quicker fix, although it cannot replace a broken power key. If the laptop is beyond repair, a used Lenovo ThinkPad from Mascom International is the better long-term choice.
Do I need drivers, and will the function keys work on Windows 10 and Windows 11?
No drivers are needed, because Windows 10 and Windows 11 recognise this keyboard automatically as soon as the ribbon cable connects. The F1 to F12 row carries Lenovo's shortcuts for volume, mute, brightness, airplane mode and the touchpad toggle. On many IdeaPads a BIOS setting called Hotkey Mode decides whether those keys act as shortcuts or standard F-keys by default. Filing KRA returns on iTax or working in Excel then feels exactly as it did before.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Key Layout
- Full US English QWERTY layout with a wide Enter key, matching the factory arrangement Lenovo shipped on this model.
- Built-in power key at the top-right corner, so the laptop switches on again once the part is fitted.
- Dedicated numeric keypad with Num Lock, letting accountants and shop owners enter figures faster than along the top row.
- Island-style keys with clear white legends that stay readable in a bright classroom or a dim evening study session.
- Non-backlit design, matching the original part and avoiding any extra power draw from the laptop battery.
- Full-size Shift, Tab, Caps Lock and Backspace keys keep long essays and spreadsheets comfortable to type for hours.
- Inverted-T arrow cluster doubling as PgUp, PgDn, Home and End, which speeds up scrolling through long documents.
Function Row and Shortcut Keys
- Twelve function keys carry printed shortcuts for mute, volume down and volume up, saving trips into Windows settings.
- Dedicated brightness down and brightness up shortcuts help you dim the screen and stretch battery life between charges.
- Airplane mode and touchpad toggle shortcuts sit on the same row, useful when a mouse is plugged in.
- Separate PrtSc, Insert and Delete keys handle screenshots and editing without awkward Fn combinations or extra software.
- Media keys for play, pause, previous and next control music and lecture recordings without leaving your current window.
- Fn and Windows keys sit at the lower left, in the same positions your fingers already know from daily use.
Compatibility and Part Matching
- Made for the Lenovo IdeaPad 110-15ISK, the 15.6-inch model built around Intel 6th-generation Core processors.
- Retail listings for this same part also name the IdeaPad 110-17ISK, 110-17ACL and 110-17IKB as compatible.
- Lenovo FRU numbers for this keyboard family include 5N20L25877 and 5N20L25958, useful for matching against your old part.
- Vendor codes seen on these keyboards include LCM15L5 and PK131NT3A00, printed on the label under the keyboard.
- The IdeaPad 110-15IBR and 110-15ACL may need a different keyboard, so confirm by photo before you order.
- Your laptop model appears on the sticker under the base, which Mascom International can verify for you on WhatsApp.
- Layout matters as much as model, because a UK keyboard carries a different Enter key and symbol positions.
Build Quality and Daily Durability
- Black keys inside a slim black frame, matching the original deck so the repaired laptop looks factory-fresh again.
- Uniform key spacing across letters and numbers keeps your typing rhythm steady after years on the old board.
- Keycaps clip onto scissor-style switches that give an even, quiet press across every key on the board.
- A rigid backing plate keeps the keyboard flat, preventing the bounce that cheap copies often show under fast typing.
- Mounting tabs along the edges lock into the laptop body, holding the keyboard firmly through daily bag carrying.
- Printed legends resist fading from fingertip oils better than the sticker-style lettering found on many unbranded copies.
Connection and Installation
- A single flat ribbon cable plugs into the motherboard connector, the same link the original keyboard used.
- No soldering is required, so a careful owner or any trained technician can complete the swap at a desk.
- Basic tools are enough, namely a small Phillips screwdriver, a plastic opening pick and a clean, dry workspace.
- Disconnecting the battery before starting protects the motherboard from accidental short circuits while the ribbon is unplugged.
- Windows 10 and Windows 11 detect the keyboard automatically, so typing works the moment the laptop powers on.
- Testing every key in Notepad before closing the base catches a half-seated ribbon cable while access is easy.
- Mascom International can point you to a trusted technician near Kimathi Street if you prefer a professional fit.
