MacBook Pro 15 inch - keys falling off

i see many others that have experienced this. I have (now, it keeps growing in #) five different keys that have come off. Took into Genesis bar today and they said they will look at it - has Apple covered the cost to replace or fix in your situation? How long did it take ? Was it handled in house (Apple store) or did it need to be shipped out? Thanks for your feedback

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

MBP 16" - Broken keys Hello everyone! Two keys fell off my MacBook Pro 16 inch. The scissor mechanism is not broken, but the small hooks in the keys are broken. If I take it to Apple, do you know if they only change the keys or replace the top case and if they charge me or not (it is under warranty)? Thanks a lot to everyone

Two keys on don't work on my Macbook Air - Is Apple supposed to fix for free due to lawsuit? It's been very hard to get my "i" key to work for a long time now. The "i" key slab and rubber cup have fallen off and disappeared, and I've been pressing the key without the top slab. I usually have to press multiple times in a harder way to get the "i" to show up on the screen, and it still often doesn't work. I've been getting carpal tunnel on my finger due to having to press so hard, in a non-ergonomic way. When I still had the top slab of the i key and the rubber cup and and put them on top of the missing "i" well, I still couldn't get the "i" to show up on the screen. So buying a replacement key slab and cup won't help. And more recently, my "8" key hasn't been working at all, though the top key slab is still stuck in place. I chatted with Apple, and they quoted over $300 for me to mail it in to get fixed. I'm guessing they need to replace the whole keyboard. Apparently, there was a class action lawsuit for the keyboard issue, which has affected various Macbook Pros and Macbook Airs since 2015: They introduced a butterfly keyboard that caused all the problems with the keys. Apple agreed to fix laptops with the keyboard problems at no cost to the consumers. But that's not what Apple said to me - they quoted me hundreds of dollars to get it fixed. I also went to an independent device repair shop, and what they quoted wasn’t that much less than Apple’s. I’ve looked online, but haven’t been able to resolve the issues myself. What should I do? I have a Macbook Air 13" late-2017 (A1466). I'm using OS Mojave 10.14.6. [Link Edited by Moderator]

Keyboard Replacement Hi, My space bar never felt right very shortly after I purchased it. I called Apple and explained the situation but eventually didn't proceed with the offer of getting it looked at due to the pandemic. Several months later, it becomes so bad that I'm having to press quite hard on certain keys for them to register but the space bar was the worst. Normally keys are easily removed and so are the ones on the apple MacBook Pro but underneath is a thin layer of plastic sheet that is now torn and the key is impossible to put back. I called Apple and they suggested I take it to a store. I then called a local authorised dealer who said it was not eligible for repair since I have broken it and it will cost £300 to fix. I've since given up and now wondering if that was the best choice. Any advice would be most welcome. Thanks in advance
