Genuine Dell XPS 17 L701X Palmrest Touchpad

This genuine Dell original palmrest assembly with integrated touchpad is designed specifically for the Dell XPS 17 (L701X) laptop. It arrives new and includes the mouse buttons, touchpad circuitry, LED control strip circuitry, and power button circuit board. The black finish matches the original chassis colour. It serves as a direct replacement for a worn or damaged upper chassis section.

Verify exact model number L701X

Before ordering, confirm that your laptop is the Dell XPS 17 carrying the exact model designation L701X. Cross-reference the part number R21D6 on your existing palmrest or in the service manual to ensure compatibility. This assembly is not interchangeable with other XPS 17 revisions or different Dell series. Professional installation is recommended due to the integrated circuitry and cable routing.

Replaces cracked or unresponsive palmrest on XPS

This part replaces a palmrest suffering from physical cracks, a failing touchpad sensor, malfunctioning mouse buttons, a dead LED control strip, or a faulty power button board. The upgrade is worth it when the chassis damage prevents normal input or when multiple integrated functions have failed simultaneously. It restores full factory fit and function without requiring a full chassis swap.

Questions about this item

Does the R21D6 palmrest assembly include the mouse buttons and touchpad circuitry, or must they be purchased separately?

The assembly comes complete with mouse buttons, the touchpad and its circuitry, the LED control strip circuitry and the power button circuit board, so no extra parts are needed for a standard replacement.

How do I confirm the R21D6 is the correct palmrest for my XPS 17 L701X rather than a different XPS 17 variant?

Match the Dell part number R21D6 and the model designation XPS 17 L701X on your original palmrest or service tag; the part is listed as compatible only with that specific model.

After fitting the R21D6 palmrest, will the touchpad and power button work immediately without additional drivers?

Because this is a genuine Dell OEM assembly designed for the XPS 17 L701X, the touchpad, mouse buttons, LED control strip and power button are recognised by the system firmware and function once installed.
