ASUS Cover TouchPad Keyboard x200m-x200ma Case, 90NB02X1-R30270, White Clavier Palm Rest

When the touchpad or keyboard deck on an ASUS X200MA fails — a known weak point on this budget 11.6-inch series — the cost of a full laptop replacement is wildly disproportionate to the actual fault. This OEM cover unit (part number 90NB02X1-R30270) solves that specific problem by replacing the entire palm rest and touchpad assembly in one piece, which is considerably more reliable than sourcing third-party components that frequently misalign with the chassis or deliver inconsistent trackpad sensitivity.

Who Is This For?

This is for anyone attempting a DIY repair on an ASUS X200MA or X200M who already has the machine partially disassembled, or a small repair shop handling ageing student laptops that still function well beyond the keyboard deck. If you're not comfortable with a spudger and a precision screwdriver set, this part has no value to you — it is a raw replacement component, not a plug-and-play accessory, and buying it without repair intent is simply wasted money.

What Buyers Say

Owners who complete the swap successfully report that the OEM fit is noticeably superior to grey-market alternatives, with the touchpad registering clicks cleanly and the palm rest sitting flush without flex. The most consistent complaint, however, is that the white finish shows wear and discolouration faster than expected — particularly around the thumb rests — which matters if aesthetics are part of the reason you're replacing it in the first place.

The Deal

Priced at £44.99, down from £59.99, this represents a £15.00 saving (25% off). Because this product is newly tracked, there is no price history to confirm whether £59.99 is a genuine baseline or an inflated reference point — so treat the "was" price with appropriate scepticism. At £44.99 for a genuine OEM part, the value is reasonable; just go in with clear eyes about the provenance of that discount.
