HP EliteBook X360 1040 G7-G8 Replacement Keyboard, Backlit
Fix a broken or unresponsive keyboard on your HP EliteBook X360 1040 G7 or G8 convertible laptop with this genuine-fit backlit replacement (P/N M16933-001). A direct drop-in fit built to the original specification.
These later 1040 generations carried over the same fold-flat convertible chassis as earlier X360 models, so this one genuine-fit part covers keyboard repairs across both G7 and G8 without needing separate stock for each. As with any 360-degree hinge design, the deck has to sit slim and rigid so it folds flush against the display in tablet mode, and this replacement is tooled to that exact tolerance.

- US Layout – standard QWERTY English keyboard with correct legends
- Slim, Rigid Profile – built to sit flush when the display is folded back in tablet mode
- Consistent Key Feel – factory-matched travel and actuation force
- One Part, Two Models – a single SKU to stock for both G7 and G8 repairs
Compatibility & Installation
Built specifically for the HP EliteBook X360 1040 G7 and G8 chassis, this keyboard uses the same connector and pinout as the original part, plugging straight into the existing motherboard header. Because convertible laptops route extra cabling through the keyboard deck for the touch and pen digitiser, installation is best handled carefully with basic tools, and most technicians complete the swap in 20-30 minutes without disturbing the hinge assembly. The mounting points match the factory chassis exactly, so no trimming or forcing is required.
Performance & Reliability
Every unit is bench-tested for key response and backlight uniformity before it leaves our warehouse, so there are no dead keys or dim zones out of the box. The key switches are rated for the same duty cycle as the original HP part, and the low-profile design holds up to repeated folding into tent, tablet, and stand modes without the wobble sometimes seen in generic aftermarket keyboards. Backlight brightness stays even across the compact deck rather than dimming in the corners.
Ideal Users & Use Cases
This replacement suits business users who rely on the X360’s tablet and stand modes for presentations and note-taking, repair technicians handling convertible keyboard swaps across both G7 and G8 units, and IT departments maintaining a mixed fleet of X360 1040 laptops used across sales or field teams. It also suits resellers refreshing used convertible units before resale.
