It's still insane that parts + labor costs £700 for a keyboard. I bet the part costs £70. I highly doubt labor could be reasonable valued at £630. Edit: curren

- brokenmachine 6y ago>parts + labor costs £700 for a keyboard. I bet the part costs £70. Lol, why? I have expensive keyboards and they are nowhere near that much for a single key. Is there any other keyboard on the planet that has such expensive keys (except maybe that one with OLEDs on every key)? What are they sprinkling these things with to make people parrot such tripe?
- spronkey 6y agoThey are riveted to the aluminium top case, that also contains the trackpad and a battery glued in on top of it. So... you're forced to buy all that for a keyboard - a part that is likely to fail in the lifespan of the machine.
- ProZsolt 6y agoThey actually changing the full top case with battery and trackpad included. Makes sense? No. Costs more than £70? Yes.
- HatchedLake721 6y agoThe costs are wrong. I had my 2017 MacBook's pro keyboard fixed this week (for free). They can't replace the keyboard alone, so they had to replace the whole bottom case, so fixing the keyboard I also got a new trackpad and a new battery. The Apple repair confirmation email has two items listed, £290.83 for the case, £69 for repairs. It's £0.00 to pay because it's covered by Apple.
