Back in November 2013, I bought myself a new laptop to celebrate that I was in full-time employment for the first time in my life.
The laptop was a Panasonic Toughbook CF-53 Mk2. I still have it, typing on it now in fact. Its had a few upgrades, but the keyboard is still the original.
A couple of the scissor switch mechanisms are starting to fail now, with a few keys becoming unresponsive or the key caps popping up. Most annoyingly, right-shift and enter. So it's new keyboard time.
I've ordered one of these, it's a backlit chiclet keyboard. Mine's not backlit, and not a chiclet, but it says its for CF-53 so hopefully will fit. $50 isn't a lot to spend anyway, so worth a gamble.

Replacement doesn't look hard from the iFixit article I found, so we'll see.
