This model uses a plastic welded keyboard, which requires you to replace the entire palmrest as a unit. IN addition, a few of these have a “paired (calibrated)” trackpad, so the whole thing has to be replaced.

The problem with these laptops is the part tends to be as much or very close to another used example of the same laptop in many cases so it’s rarely cost effective unless you have a higher end machine with specs that justify the cost.
That said, the part number will either be ***5CB0Q96465 or 5CB0Q96436***. If you can, I’d take the laptop apart first to see which one yours needed just in case the 465 part isn’t compatible with 436 laptops. Usually taking the battery out should be enough to check as you just need to confirm it. They both come with the BL keyboard and look functionally identical, so I have no idea why the Part# is different on two identical parts - possibly different revisions?
