What do you make of this? (computer parts)

[JustKneller]

So, the main issue I'm having with my gaming laptop is that the keyboard is falling apart on me. In its defense, the thing is 6 years old and has been a solid performer otherwise. Especially with the cost of RAM and the great shape it still is in, repair is the obvious answer. I've been researching how to do the repair and looking up parts when I saw this on the Lenovo website:

Spoiler: keyboard

I get that the Candian-French keyboard set is not a hot ticket item, but we're talking about a 1200% price difference. And these are manufacturer parts, not after-market swill from cheap third parties.

Why do you think there's such a price difference?

But, at barely more than $15, I'm going to give it a shot (and then change my keyboard config, if possible). At that price, if it works, that's a total win.

The only thing I can guess is that they might have excessive inventory of that particular keyboard. They’re all on sale, but the Canadian one is 91% off, versus the other two at 15%. They may be changing their modular design, too, and want to start moving everything. But, hey, it’s cool that you can actually get parts and repair, vs the usual forced obsolescence.

It could be clearance because they're either discontinuing it or there's a new model almost released. It does say there's only 1 left.
