HP 2560P Replacement Keyboard, Non-Backlit
Fix a broken or unresponsive keyboard on your HP EliteBook 2560P with this genuine-fit replacement (P/N 701979-001). A direct drop-in fit built to the original specification.
The 2560P is one of HP’s compact 12.5-inch EliteBook business laptops, and this keyboard is tooled to that specific key well rather than adapted from a larger EliteBook chassis. If your keyboard has cracked or missing keycaps, dead key rows, or keys that stick after a spill, this replacement restores it to full working order without the cost of a new laptop. It is also a common fix for units where years of daily use have simply worn certain letters and the space bar down to the point where they no longer register reliably.
Key Features
- Direct Fit – matches the original 2560P layout precisely
- Brand New – not refurbished, not a used pull
- Easy Installation – designed as a straightforward drop-in swap
- US Layout – standard QWERTY English keyboard with correct legends
- Firm Backing Plate – resists flex on the compact 12.5-inch chassis
- Consistent Key Feel – factory-matched travel and actuation force
- Durable Legends – printed key labels that resist fading with daily use
- Full Key Set – complete function-row and pointer-stick controls, nothing missing
Compatibility & Installation
Built specifically for the HP EliteBook 2560P chassis, this keyboard uses the same connector and pinout as the original part, plugging straight into the existing motherboard header. Most swaps take 15-20 minutes with a small screwdriver, and because the mounting points match the factory chassis exactly, the new keyboard seats flush without trimming or forcing. The palm rest and trackpoint assembly stay untouched throughout the swap, and no bracket modification of any kind is required, even on the compact 12.5-inch deck where space around the edges is tight.
Performance & Reliability
Every unit is bench-tested for key response before it leaves our warehouse, so there are no dead or sticky keys out of the box. The key switches are rated for sustained daily typing, matching the durability expected from a genuine HP business-class component rather than a short-lived generic substitute. The keycap finish resists the shine that builds up on frequently used keys over time, and the overall feel matches how the laptop typed when it was new.
Ideal Users & Use Cases
This replacement suits business users and field technicians who rely on the compact 2560P as a portable daily driver, as well as repair shops and IT departments keeping spares on hand for older EliteBook fleets still in service. It also suits collectors and hobbyists keeping a well-built older business laptop in working order rather than retiring it, and resellers refreshing used units before resale.
