@altanrasim just like any of the other OEMs', Asus has "integrated" the keyboard into the "palm rest" which is actually the top cover for your computer. The keyboard itself is held in place by something like a "gazillion" plastic tabs/rivets. You would have to carefully try to drill those out. then you might remove the old keyboard.

Now, to attach a new one, you would have to drill carefully through each one of those leftover tabs. Not to deep or you drill right through the case. You could get some small screws to re-attach a replacement keyboard. Now sure how solid this would be. Of course, you can always try it and might just work out for you. If you mess it up you just have to replace the top cover, which you have to replace anyway. Take a look at this video at 18:00min and you see how it is mounted it the top cover.

If you go that route, take lots of pictures. Once you are done with it, take those pictures and create a guide for iFixit. That will help the next person that has a device with the same issues as you do. It's easy and fun to create these guides. https://ifixit.com/Guide/new The iFixit community will appreciate this.
