On most MacBooks since 2016 the keyboard is riveted into the top case. That is why a full keyboard costs more than a key.
From $129. One key or a clean costs less. A full keyboard on a model where it is riveted in costs more, and we quote it after we look.
On most MacBooks since 2016 the keyboard is riveted into the top case with the battery and trackpad. Swapping it means taking the whole Mac apart.
Often, yes. But liquid can also reach the main board. We check the board too, so the fault does not come back. See our water damage repair.
Yes. We fix butterfly keyboards on the MacBook 12", MacBook Air 2018 to 2019 and MacBook Pro 2016 to 2019.
Check the bottom case first. If it is lifting, the battery may be swollen and pushing the trackpad up. Stop using the Mac and bring it in.
Have your Mac's model ready. It is under the Apple menu, in About This Mac.
