Apple is replacing these keyboards for free... https://support.apple.com/en-ca/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks https://support.apple.com/en-ca/keyboard-service-program-for... I get that it is hugely inconvenient to go without your laptop for any amount of time - I depend on mine for work at a 2 person startup, so really I do get it! But if you are this fed up with it, then I'd say go for it. I finally bit the bullet and found a local certified apple repair place (NOT THE APPLE STORE) that allowed me to take my laptop home with me after they ran diagnostics (10 minutes) and ordered the new keyboard. I emphasize not the apple store because they will try to keep your laptop for the 24-48 hours it takes your replacement keyboard to ship. The repair actually took around 3 hours, which I spent playing with my kid! Woot! The place I went through text me when the keyboard came in and then again when my laptop was ready to go - was super easy. Because of the way the keyboard is bundled into the laptop, they have to replace the battery too - so that was an added bonus. edit - just want to add that the replacement has had no issues ~1 month in (++spelling)
