Are the keycaps replacable?

"The keys on these models are prone to breakage because of the 2 ""hooks"" at the bottom of the key. Also a Dvorak user I have been popping off my keycaps on every MacBook I get since 2008. I'm a developer in SF, change jobs alot, so thats about 5 MacBooks lol... anyway we always popped those off from the bottom corner-ish area. DONT do that to here, come at these from the TOP, if you get the 2 top clamps to pop off, gently pull the key upwards - you'll be good.. Be ultra careful not to grab the butterfly too. These butterfly's have to be attached into the button (it's siliconed to the mb). If you break one like I did you gotta take the whole assembly out, put the new butterfly ""into"" the button (there are 4 indents where it attaches under the button) then silicon the button (with butterfly attached) back to the mb BEFORE you can snap the key back on.

I say this from my TB13 with 6 broken keys. I'm looking for replacements right now. lol."

"They are very fragile keycaps, and are easy to break. But with care, they can be removed easily. We do replacement keys, and we translate keyboards for customers all the time.

This guide may prove helpful in at least understanding how the mechanism works and how to remove it if you've not done it before.

If you're not confident with it though, i'd suggest you look for a tech savvy friend or a company to do the work for you. Its not overly complicated, but does take some dexterity and a gentle touch.
