thank so much for posting this! i finally worked up the courage to doing this myself and it worked so well :) I bought my macbook pro a2159 used from a friend, and the keycaps were reallyyy worn. I ordered just the key caps from aliexpress and ended up breaking one of the little white nobs on the butterfly hinge but i ordered more and followed this, and everything is working good now. :)

very helpful - I had the problem that a button didn't always respond when I pressed a button (only when pressed very hard) - I was able to use the video to remove the button and press the pressure point (the small "tongue" in the middle of the pressure point) again while holding it down bend very slightly forward and the button worked again (without pressing hard)

Tbf this is what happens when apple makes it virtually impossible to clean the keyboard. Not just the butterfly mechanism but also the fact that any keypress turn the Mac on and most people don't feel comfortable cleaning when it's on

Hey, I noticed your spacebar on this video is just like mine.. the clear missing clips underneath. I ordered some replacement key from eBay, and have pretty much every part. The question is.. do I have to use glue to keep those clear clips in place (spacebar)?

Hi, I love your videos! I need help to make a repair decision. Long story short, I got a A1707. many keys prints more than once the caracter when you hit the key. its quite random. After removing keys and hinges, its not about the keycap or hinge... So it seems to be related to the button itslef. Do I need to replace the whole keyboard or should I work button in some ways?

Sometimes removing the button and scraping the contacts underneath might help.

In general... say after 7 years of wear and tear (and my dad didnt get his share from the lawsuit thing that happened ages ago) I have like at least 5 keys I want to fix... the command key is the worst by the way... I read that the only way to do it is to have the entire keyboard replaced. But technically, is replacing just the damaged part like you showed here enough to fix all 5 problematic keys?
