Is it possible to replace a single Mac key?

Hi,

I am using 2019 16" MBP, a few days ago my W key started to wobble extraordinarily in its place. It is fine when I click it but it wobbles when I touch its corners.

I have contacted Apple, but they don't know if an individual key can be replaced or not. I don't want to replace the whole keyboard for the sake of that key.

Has anyone had an experience with that or is it possible to get the ORIGINAL keys for replacement?

Can you buy an apple key replacement? My up arrow key recently stopped working so I. tried to just keep on pressing it until it worked again but then I just broke off. So, I tried popping it back on, then I realized somehow one of the parts to a key on the arrow key broke off. I didn't want to tel my parents it broke because I just got my Mac, so I just hot glued it, it has been working semi semi until now. I just completely came off and I don't think hot glue will work. So, I was wondering can you buy an apple key replacement?

Replace Butterfly mechanism The butterfly mechanism on one of the keys on my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" with touchbar is broken. There are four small pins (2 on the left, two on the right) and one is now missing. The keycap no longer stays on, making it hard to type. I have a replacement mechanism, but I the repair shop says this mechanism cannot be swapped out and the entire keyboard has to be replaced, which means I'll be out my Mac for over a week. Is there any way to replace just the butterfly mechanism of a single key without going through all of this? I can't find any how-tos about this online (they all refer either just to the keycap or are for the earlier generation of keys.
