Repairs though. Our 2010 laptop had the enter key die. Thankfully back then parts were still somewhat user repairable.

I bought a new keyboard for $18 on AliExpress, and just had to remelt the plastic heat stakes to pop out the old keyboard and drop in the new one. Took maybe 2 hours with disassembly steps and reassembly.

Current laptops often just get tossed out, but with a framework you can swap keyboards in 15 minutes.
