MacBook Keyboard Replacement & Repair

Are you dealing with sticky keys, unresponsive buttons, or a backlight that just won’t light up on your MacBook keyboard? A malfunctioning keyboard can severely hinder your productivity and make using your MacBook a frustrating experience. At ITFIX2U, we understand that your keyboard is your primary interface with your Mac, which is why we offer comprehensive MacBook keyboard replacement and repair services right here in Beeliar, Western Australia, to get you typing smoothly again.

MacBook keyboards have evolved over the years, and each type has its own common issues and repair methodologies. We’re well-versed in handling all of them, from the controversial butterfly mechanisms to the more traditional and reliable scissor-switch designs. Whether you own an older MacBook Pro A1708 with individual key issues or a newer MacBook Air A2337 (M1) that’s suffered liquid damage, we’re ready to provide a solution.

Understanding MacBook Keyboard Types:

Butterfly Mechanism Keyboards: Found on MacBook models generally produced between 2015 and 2019, such as the MacBook Pro A1989 and MacBook Air A1932. These keyboards were known for their extremely thin profiles but were also prone to issues like keys getting stuck, double-typing, or not registering presses due to tiny particles or wear. Repairing these often involves replacing the entire ‘top case’ assembly, which includes the keyboard, battery, and trackpad, as these components are typically integrated.Scissor Mechanism Keyboards (Magic Keyboard): Apple reverted to a refined scissor mechanism starting with the 16-inch MacBook Pro A2141 and subsequently in all new models, including the current MacBook Pro A2991 (M3 Pro/Max 16-inch) and MacBook Air A2681 (M2). These offer more key travel and improved reliability, making them less susceptible to the widespread issues of the butterfly design. However, they can still suffer from liquid damage, physical wear, or individual key failures.Common Keyboard Problems We Fix:

Unresponsive Keys: Individual keys not registering presses, or requiring excessive force.Sticky Keys: Keys that feel gummy or get stuck down, often due to liquid spills or debris.Double-Typing: A single press of a key resulting in multiple characters appearing on screen.Backlight Issues: Uneven or non-functional keyboard backlighting.Liquid Damage: This is a frequent cause of widespread keyboard failure, as liquid seeps into the sensitive membrane beneath the keys. This often necessitates a full keyboard replacement, which, as mentioned, can mean replacing the top case.Our diagnostic process will determine whether an individual key can be repaired (if possible for your model) or if a full keyboard or top case replacement is necessary for your MacBook Pro A2780 (M2 Pro/Max 16-inch) or MacBook Air A3113 (M3 13-inch). We use high-quality replacement parts to ensure that your new keyboard feels just right and performs flawlessly.
