Replacement US keyboard for Macbook Pro 13"A1278 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 Year MB990 MB991 MC374 MC375 MC700 MC724 MD313 MD314 MD101 MD102

Replacement was no issue for me. The keyboard replacement worked as expected :)Two things i did notice that isn't enough for me to take any stars, but id like buyers to be aware of are :1. The backlight did not get as bright as i remember seeing it. Now that could be any number of things. from improper reassembly, to the newer keyboard just not allowing as much light through, but its not that big of a deal, i don't need it to light up a room. I just need enough light to type in the dark. It does get bright, just not as much as i remember.2. the cable that connects to the logic board is straight as an arrow. It makes it difficult to connect it back to the logic board, but i would not recommend pre bending it to make it easier. It'll just take some patience and concentration to get it back in.a bit of advice for those amateurs such as myself, before removing the current keyboard, mark the holes on the new keyboard with a marker that the screws will be placed into. that way you place a screw exactly how it was on the original keyboard. :)Ill be sure to update with any failures

Works perfectly and fit almost perfectly after pushing one aluminum post through some thin plastic. No issues with (re-installed, old) backlight, might actually look a little brighter. The feel of the keys is a little "softer" - not sure if it's the texture of the plastic or the "click" but whatever it is, it's very minor and only barely noticeable side by side with an OEM keyboard. Hopefully it's durable, but as of day one I'd buy again.Time consuming but not a difficult job for someone with the right tools (recommend iFixit - don't try this with cheap driver bits) and experience taking apart laptops or mobile devices. PROTIP: attach some tape to the keyboard ribbon connector to grasp while sliding it into the slot, then remove tape.

First one I got the power switch did not work. Was a real pain to have to take out, return and install a new one but once the new one was installed worked great!To test just pull out the ribbon cable for the broken installed keyboard and slip the new cable in (make sure you have it facing the correct way) and press power button to ensure it turns the computer on.

I' m t ypi ng this re view on the newly insta l le d key bo ard as you can see the space b ar r and om ly will s tart putting spa c es in a I type. e xt remely annoying to say the least. Iwould not recomm end this product a s it is a pain to install the ke yb oard and its not something you want to have to do t wi c e

This keyboard definitely looks the part. It fit right in to my 2011 Unibody 13" Macbook Pro like it was meant to be there. All the keys work, but several are intermittently unresponsive, including the spacebar (have to hit it directly in the center), the enter/return key and the down arrow key. Several keys are also uneven, with the aforementioned enter/return key sitting noticeably lower in the case. A few F-keys and letter keys are crooked once the keyboard is installed, as well.The build quality is lacking from the OEM part, which is prohibitively expensive/hard to find. I'm likely going to spend the money to find a better aftermarket alternative, which means I have to go through once again removing/reinstalling the 75+ screws it takes to replace a Macbook keyboard. Scores a couple of points for me because I did successfully install it and get it working, but I can't recommend this for someone who is looking to restore the quality of the original keyboard.

Will not fit Macbook Pro...will be returning

Be aware that this keyboard won't let the light through because the keys and letters are opaque (this purchase was intentional). My wife didn't know that so was surprised, but she doesn't use my laptop so she doesn't care. Great product, killer price.Be aware that if you aren't technically skilled, replacing this yourself is highly inadvisable. There is a LOT that could go wrong and damage your laptop much worse than just having a bad keyboard, although if you know to purchase this product, chances are you know what you are doing. If it's your first time, there are lots of good youtube videos to learn from.

Swapping out the keyboards is a major pain, but better than buying a new computer...oh wait I already did. Now I have 2 good working laptops...I've only had it a few days, but so far works as advertised and I can't tell a difference between OEM and this keyboard.
