Best wholesale supplier for Surface Laptop keyboards?
I'm currently on the hunt for a reliable wholesale supplier for Surface Laptop keyboards. We do a decent volume of repairs on these models, and I've been struggling to find a supplier that offers competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. We've had some bad experiences with a few vendors in the past, where the keyboards arrived faulty or had issues with fit. I'm particularly interested in suppliers that provide good RMA policies, as we want to minimize downtime for our customers. If anyone has recommendations for vendors they've had success with, along with any insights on pricing and quality, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Hey there! I’ve been sourcing Surface Laptop keyboards from a vendor called PartsDirect. They have a good reputation in our community for their quality and RMA process. The prices are around $45 per keyboard, which is decent given the market. I usually order in bulk, and they offer volume discounts, which helps cut down costs. Their customer service has been responsive, and I've had very few issues with defective parts. Definitely worth checking out!
I've tried a couple of different suppliers for Surface Laptop keyboards, including iFixit and a local wholesaler. iFixit has decent quality, but they tend to be pricier at around $55 per unit. The local wholesaler was cheaper but the quality was hit or miss; I had to RMA several keyboards last month. Just be careful with your sourcing, because the fit can vary quite a bit based on where you get them from. Good luck!
