Expert MacBook Keyboard Repair

MacBook keyboards take a beating daily. From sticky or unresponsive keys to broken keycaps, spill damage, and the well-documented butterfly mechanism failures on 2016 to 2019 models — keyboard problems are one of the most common Mac repairs we handle.

MacExperts repairs keyboards on all MacBook models including the latest Magic Keyboard with scissor switches and older butterfly switch keyboards. We replace individual keys, full keyboard assemblies, and top cases depending on the model and extent of the damage.

MacBook Keyboard Issues We Fix

  • Broken or missing keycaps — individual key replacement where possible
  • Butterfly keyboard failures — 2016 to 2019 MacBook Pro and MacBook keyboard issues
  • Spill-damaged keyboards — cleaning and replacement after liquid contact
  • Full keyboard replacement — when individual key repair is not sufficient

Frequently Asked Questions

On some models yes, particularly older MacBooks with scissor-switch keyboards. On 2016 to 2019 MacBook Pro models with butterfly keyboards, individual key replacement is more complex and a full top case replacement is sometimes the better option. We will assess your specific model and advise the most cost-effective solution.

Butterfly keyboards on 2016 to 2019 MacBook Pro models are known to be problematic. If your Mac is still within a warranty period, we can advise on that. If not, we can replace the top case with either an OEM part or an upgraded scissor-switch assembly on supported models.

Individual key repairs are often done same-day. Full keyboard or top case replacements typically take 1 to 2 days depending on part availability. We will confirm the timeframe before you leave your Mac with us.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends on how much liquid entered and how quickly the Mac was powered off. Bring it in as soon as possible and do not attempt to power it on after a spill. We will assess the damage and advise.

Pricing depends on the model and extent of repair required. We provide a free quote before any work begins. Call 0494 385 072 or fill in our online form.
