Hi,

There is also the free keyboard replacement scheme that Apple made available 
for many of its butterfly keyboard models:

I got a free new keyboard from this for my MacBook, which would otherwise have 
been £250 or so.

Hi all.

Thanks to all who reached out to help.

For those who are suffering the same and are interested, I ended up buying from 
these folk:

    - https://www.thebookyard.com/apple-keycaps.php - UK-based; I bought the 
full set of key caps.

    - https://www.replacementlaptopkeys.com/ - I bought a few key (pun 
intended) letters, including the hinge and cup.

The replacements arrived and work like new!

Mark.

Hi all.

Apologies for the off-topic post and for asking about the wrong country, but 
I'll be in Amsterdam next week for a couple of days, and am in need of keys for 
a mid-2017 15-inch Apple MacBook Pro Touch Bar.

Many of the keys on my unit have failed their hinge slots, and the only 
replacement options in South Africa are the whole keyboard or unibody chassis. 
I just need the keys since the underlying (butterfly) mechanism is fine on all 
affected keys. It's just the hinge slots that fail over time and end up wedging 
the entire system, manifesting as a sticky or unresponsive key.

Private replies on which shops I can walk into in Amsterdam are most welcome.

And once again, apologies for the noise. Thanks.

Mark.
