The way a MacBook Pro keyboard is replaced depends on the generation, which is why prices vary so much between models. We’ll tell you which applies to yours.
By generation
- Unibody (2008–2012): the keyboard is screwed in and can be replaced on its own, the most affordable option
- Retina (2012–2015): riveted to the top case; we replace the keyboard and re-secure it, or fit a new top case
- 2016–2019 butterfly: prone to sticky and repeating keys; the lasting fix is a new top case, which also includes a new battery
- 2019 16-inch, 2020 and Apple silicon: reliable Magic Keyboards, mostly replaced after spills

Questions we’re often asked
Apple’s keyboard service programme has ended. Can you still fix my butterfly keyboard?
Yes. We try a careful clean on individual failing keys first, and fit a new top case if the switches themselves have failed.
