How can you entrust your Mac to us?

To replace the keypad, the top casing must be completely dismantled in a secure environment.

Signs of failure

When should you replace the keyboard on your Mac?

Before changing the keyboard, our free diagnostic checks whether the problem is software-related (system preferences, macOS update) or hardware-related. Here are the most common cases:
  • Keys not working
    Some keys no longer respond or double the letters. The butterfly mechanism is often to blame on models from 2016 to 2019. Scissor keyboards (recent models) are more reliable but not free from faults.
  • Liquid-damaged keyboard
    Spilt water or coffee, sticky keys, oxidation under the keyboard. It is often necessary to replace the entire topcase. Consult our liquid damage repair service if the motherboard is affected.
  • Faulty backlight
    The backlight no longer works, flashes or remains permanently lit. The ribbon circuit or the connector on the logic board must be checked.
  • Trackpad no longer responding
    On many models, the keyboard and trackpad share the same tablecloth. A trackpad problem can be solved by replacing the topcase.

Frequently asked questions about keyboard replacement

Find out all about the cost, the models concerned and the procedure.

The cost ranges from €49 including VAT for individual keys to €450 for a complete Touch Bar topcase (including battery and trackpad). For a MacBook Unibody keyboard, expect to pay between €149 and €199. Visit diagnosis is free of charge and the estimate is sent to you before any commitment is made.

We support all models: MacBook Pro Unibody (2008-2012), MacBook Pro Retina (2012-2015), MacBook Pro Touch Bar (2016-2020), MacBook Air (2010-2020), MacBook 12" and Apple Silicon models (M1 to M4). We also work on Apple Magic Keyboard and wired USB Keyboard.

Our free diagnostic will determine this. A test in safe mode or an SMC/NVRAM reset can sometimes solve a software problem. If the problem persists, it's hardware and needs to be replaced.

The Apple Store often charges a high price for the replacement of the complete topcase, even for a problem with isolated keys. Our workshop can replace the keyboard alone whenever possible, at prices up to 50% lower and often with a shorter lead time.

Allow 24 to 48 hours for a standard replacement. Unibody models are quicker (a few hours). Our express service treats your MacBook as a same-day priority.

Yes, we install new French AZERTY keyboards with functional backlighting. QWERTY layouts are also available on request for international models.

"Following an accidental spillage of hydro-alcoholic gel, the trackpad on my 2015 MacBook Air no longer worked... I had resigned myself to buying a new one until I discovered Mac Repair. Accurate diagnosis and fast service. I got the repaired Mac back, along with an SSD upgrade, for a very fair price, especially compared to the price of a new one! And it's good for the environment too. Thank you!"
