Super

I fixed electronics for a living, so I know the things to look for when buying parts. This was advertised for ho 15-dy series laptops, yet the flex cable is too short. Can't even get my money back because I've already soldered in the plastic rivets...

The keyboard works perfectly. Unfortunately, HP made installation very difficult. Unlike other laptops where there are screws used to fasten the keyboard to either the upper or lower part of the shell, in this case, HP decided to basically use plastic rivets. They melted some plastic posts into a rivet type shape. There's dozens of these things. You need to very carefully pry those to break them. But now you have nothing to hold the keyboard in place. So what I did was to install the keyboard in the upper half of the palm rest shell, and then use some gorilla glue and put a dab on every one of these rivets to hold it in place. So far it seems to be working. The alternative for this laptop was to buy a new upper shell with a keyboard. That was fortunate to find one of those, but now I read don't actually need it because this other method seems to have worked.

The ribbon was too short so it could not be plugged in to the circuit board.

This product is true to its description and fits my computer perfectly. I have been using it for all this time and even currently and I have experienced no issues with the keyboard.

It works. It fits (Not perfectly but it fits). A professional has to install it. Not OEM look and feel. Definitely looks and feels cheaper. Can't complain for the price though.

Me gusto mucho

The description says it would fit my laptop. Pulled the whole thing apart, put in this new keyboard and got everything half way together again when I realized that the connector strip was too short!
