Latitude 5280 Palmrest with Smart Card Reader

This genuine Dell assembly replaces the palmrest on a Latitude 5280 laptop. It includes the touchpad module, mouse buttons and an integrated smart card reader. The black finish matches the original chassis colour. Buyers needing a laptop without a smart card slot should choose a different part.

Replaces a Damaged or Missing Palmrest Assembly

The part swaps directly for Dell part numbers K0FXK and A16762. It restores pointing, clicking and smart card authentication in one step. The jump is worthwhile when the original touchpad fails, the buttons stick or the smart card reader stops reading credentials. Laptops without the smart card option cannot use this assembly.

Fits Latitude 5280 Chassis with Smart Card Slot

Installation reuses the existing screws and ribbon cables inside the 5280 lower case. The bundle supplies the touchpad module C6T29, button board A169B1 and reader RDXY6 so no extra pieces are required. Builders must verify their system has the smart card cutout before fitting.
