Asus ROG Strix GL553 Palmrest with Touchpad (C Panel) replacement
The Asus ROG Strix GL553 palmrest with touchpad (c panel) is the keyboard deck and palmrest with integrated touchpad in black brushed metal, a direct OEM-fit replacement for ROG Strix GL553 and GL553VD laptops from around 2017. This is the keyboard deck and palmrest hosting the touchpad — supplied with all original screw holes, hinge mount points, and antenna routing where applicable. Tested, scratch-graded, and in stock at N.N Laptops, Hafeez Center, Lahore.
What this panel is and what it does
This is the keyboard deck and palmrest with integrated touchpad in black brushed metal for the Asus ROG Strix GL553. As the laptop's the keyboard deck and palmrest hosting the touchpad, it carries cosmetic wear over years of use — scratches, dings, faded paint, cracked corners. A fresh panel restores the laptop's look and structural integrity without needing a full chassis replacement. Every panel we list has been pulled from a donor machine, cleaned, and inspected under bright light for cracks, dents, and stress fractures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade is this Asus Strix GL553 palmrest assembly (C panel)?
We grade panels A (no visible marks), B (light surface scratches only — no cracks or dents), or C (heavier wear, but structurally perfect). The default listing is Grade A or B. If you need exactly Grade A, WhatsApp 0314 4000131 before ordering and we'll set one aside.
Does this come with the LCD / keyboard / hinges?
This listing is the palmrest assembly (C panel) only. No LCD glass, no keyboard, no internal boards. If you need a complete assembly (with screen and hinges) instead of just the panel, message us — we may have a complete top assembly in stock at a different price.
Will it fit if my service tag is different?
Asus reuses the same palmrest assembly (C panel) mould across multiple sub-models. For ROG Strix GL553 this part is identical across all i3/i5/i7 and touch/non-touch variants of the same year. Always send us a photo of your existing panel via WhatsApp 0314 4000131 for a free fitment check.
