Keyboard replacement for MacBook Air 11.6

Is there any kind of custom keyboard replacements for the MacBook Air 11.6 inch early 2015 model that has less key travel (similar to the keyboard of MacBook Pro 2018)?


I just LOVE typing on my MacBook Pro, but I use the Air as my on-the-go device and I feel its not as comfortable to type on as the Pro, so if there is anyway to replace it with another, it would be awesome!

Not that I know of. Apple specifically doesn't even do repairs (outside of keycap replacements) without swapping out the entire top case. I don't even know of anyone that sells used keyboards - just entire used top cases. Building just a specific version of the keyboard would be a very limited market.


Besides that, haven't there been lots of complaints about the reliability of the butterfly keyboards?
