MacBook Pro 14 / 16 keyboard: your questions

Which MacBook does this keyboard fit?

This listing has a keyboard for each of these models: the A2442 MacBook Pro 14-inch M1 Pro / Max (2021); the A2779 MacBook Pro 14-inch M2 Pro / Max (2023); the A2918 MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 (Nov 2023); the A2992 MacBook Pro 14-inch M3 Pro / Max (Nov 2023); the A2485 MacBook Pro 16-inch M1 Pro / Max (2021); the A2780 MacBook Pro 16-inch M2 Pro / Max (2023); the A2991 MacBook Pro 16-inch M3 Pro / Max (Nov 2023). Pick the button for your model. It does not fit the 13-inch models or the 2019 16-inch A2141. The model number is printed on the bottom case.

These keyboards all look the same. Why are there different prices per model?

They look almost identical, but there are small differences between the models that can cause fitting or key problems later if the wrong one is used. Each button is the keyboard for that exact model number, priced for that part. Pick the model number printed on the bottom case of your MacBook, or send us a photo on WhatsApp and we confirm it for you.

Standard or Premium: which should I pick?

Premium is the original or about 99% of original quality, with a 6-month warranty: best if you’ll keep the Mac and type on it every day. Standard is the regular aftermarket keyboard, checked by us, with a 3-month warranty: best if you’re selling soon or want the lowest price.

How do I know if I need the US or UK layout?

Look at your Enter key. A straight, rectangular Enter key is the US layout. A tall, L-shaped Enter key is the UK layout, which also has an extra key beside the left Shift. Order the one that matches your MacBook now.

Is the backlight included?

No. This keyboard comes without the backlight sheet. The backlight already in your Mac stays in place and lights the new keys when it is fitted.

Can I replace the keyboard myself?

It is delicate work: the keyboard sits inside the top case, so most parts come out first (3–4 hours for an experienced technician). We suggest a technician. Message Aparna on WhatsApp about fitting options in your city.

Can I return it?

If the keyboard is faulty, tell us on WhatsApp within 48 hours of delivery with the unboxing video, and ship it back within 7 days. Once we confirm it is defective, we send a replacement. We confirm your model number before every order, so a working keyboard can’t be returned because it was bought by mistake.

Keys stopped working after a spill. Will a new keyboard fix it?

Not always. Liquid often reaches the logic board too. Have the Mac checked before you order a keyboard, so you don’t fix only part of the problem.

Can I pay in EMI?

Yes. With Snapmint you pay a quarter now and the rest in 3 monthly EMIs at 0% interest, subject to Snapmint approval: from about ₹1,498 now for Premium.

i purchase a laptop A2141 battery is draining

i purchase a laptop A2141 battery is draining fastly i ping through whatsapp number i didint get proper reply, please consider the request

Hi P S PRABHAKAR, thank you for your review, and sorry for the wait on WhatsApp. That reply should have reached you faster.

Your A2141 was fully tested before dispatch. When we looked into the fast battery drain, we found the Mac had been updated to macOS Tahoe. On this 2019 Intel MacBook Pro, Tahoe can cause heavy background activity and faster battery drain. We explained this in our email and shared our guide, and the product page also advises against this update.

We would still like to put this right. You can send the machine to us and we will reinstall the OS for free, or you can follow our step-by-step guide to reinstall it yourself. Please note that, as stated on the product page, the warranty does not cover issues caused by the Tahoe update.

Please WhatsApp us on +91 7010545974 or write to support@sparesonly.in and we will take this forward with you directly.
