MacBook Keyboard Replacement
Sticky keys, keys that repeat, keys that do nothing — and on 2015–2019 machines, the butterfly mechanism that Apple never really fixed. We tell you which of two jobs yours needs before you commit, because the difference is substantial.
This route holds two competing floors (RM250 page / RM380 layout) — the resolver renders the winner post-merge.
Why we do not quote a single number
Keyboard cost depends on whether your MacBook takes a keyboard-only replacement or a full top-case assembly. Those are different jobs with different parts. We confirm which after checking your model number — and we would rather tell you that than publish a floor you cannot actually get.
Find your model number first
Flip the MacBook over — it is printed on the underside, in the form A2337. Or use the Apple menu → About This Mac. Send us that number and we can tell you which of the two jobs you are looking at before you come in.

Keyboard Services & Pricing
Which one you need depends on your model — and on how much of the keyboard is actually affected.
Full Keyboard Replacement
Quoted on your model
The keyboard assembly is replaced and the rest of the machine stays as it is.
- Butterfly mechanisms replaced with more reliable ones
- Same-day in most cases — 3 to 5 hours on the bench
- 3 Months - 1 Year Warranty on the part and the labour
Full top-case assembly
Quoted on model
Some models integrate the keyboard into the top case, so the whole assembly is the part.
- Confirmed from your model number before you commit
- Includes the trackpad and chassis surface where integrated
- Longer on the bench — we will tell you how long up front
Keyboard Cleaning
Quoted on your model
For sticky or unresponsive keys that do not need a full assembly swap — a deep clean of the mechanism, tested key by key.
- The lighter first step when a full replacement is not needed
- Compressed-air and mechanism-level cleaning, not just a wipe-down
- We say so honestly if a replacement would serve you better long-term
Common Keyboard Issues We Fix
From a single sticky key to full butterfly mechanism failure — what we see most, and why.
About Butterfly Keyboards
MacBooks from 2015 to 2019 use the butterfly mechanism — the design Apple replaced, apologised for, and ran a service programme over. A single crumb under a key is enough to make it stick or repeat, and cleaning it rarely holds for long.
We fit butterfly replacements with more reliable mechanisms, so the machine you get back is less likely to develop the same fault again. If yours is in this window, say so when you message us — it changes the recommendation.
Symptoms we see most
- Sticky keys — A key that needs a harder press than its neighbours, or does not spring back cleanly.
- Keys that repeat — One press producing two or three characters — classic butterfly behaviour.
- Dead keys — Nothing at all from one or more keys, while the rest of the board works normally.
- Butterfly mechanism failure — The 2015–2019 fault: debris under the mechanism that cleaning does not fix for long.
Three to five hours, and why
A keyboard is not a surface part. Reaching it means taking the machine most of the way apart, which is why this is an afternoon rather than the half-hour a battery takes. Same-day is normal; we just need the machine for the day.
Model check and quote
We read your model number and confirm which job it is — keyboard replacement or full top-case assembly — and what it costs. You approve before anything is opened.
You approve hereBackup reminder
We recommend a quick Time Machine backup. Your data is not touched by this repair, but a keyboard job is a major disassembly and backing up first is simply good practice.
Disassembly
The machine comes apart most of the way — battery disconnected first, then the internals lifted out to reach the keyboard. This is what the three to five hours is.
Fitting
The new keyboard or top case goes in, cables are re-seated, and the chassis is closed back up with the correct torque on every screw.
Full key test
Every key is tested individually, along with the trackpad, backlight and any Touch Bar or Touch ID the model has, before we tell you it is ready.
Two keys or the whole keyboard?
If one or two keys are affected and the rest of the board is fine, say so when you book. Sometimes the honest answer is a cleaning and a single key rather than an assembly — and that is a much smaller bill.
Bring it in for a diagnosis
We will tell you whether this is a key, a keyboard, or a liquid problem wearing a keyboard costume — sticky keys after a spill are a water-damage job, not this one.
Diagnosis is RM100–150, waived when you proceed, waived if we cannot repair it, and payable only if you decline a viable quote.
