Replacement key, A and up arrow

I have a Mac book pro 13” that is 8 years old. Still works well but the keys A and up arrow is missing. Where can I purchase ? Looked on laptop key.com and there were 3 different ones. I could not tell which to order?

Any definite order sites and part #’s?

A reputable and respectable parts supplier will include details on how to differentiate between the various keyboard models. You just have to search until you find a vendor who provides that information. Typically there are just two styles of key caps/scissor mechanisms for each model year (there may be exceptions). You will want to know your exact model as well which you can get by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac".


You will want to make sure the scissor mechanism and metal support brackets are not damaged plus you want to make sure the rubber "nipple" is present in the center of the key area.


I don't know who to recommend since I just scavenge used key caps from old keyboards that no longer work. Maybe you can ask at iFixIt.

I can not recommend do it yourself— too much can go wrong if you do not do this day in and day out.


Any computer repair shop that works on Macs should be able to help you.


good luck !
