MacBook butterfly keyboard key repair kit (AP12)

Repair the faulty keys of a MacBook butterfly keyboard yourself, without replacing the whole keyboard. This kit contains 10 AP12 clickers — Apple’s latest mechanism generation — with a repositionable silicone membrane, far more reliable and convenient than the old non-repositionable plastic film.

Ideal for square keys that repeat, stick or stop responding — a common fault caused by dust and heat.

• Includes: 10 AP12 clickers with silicone membrane (repairs 10 square keys)
• Compatibility: MacBook 12″, MacBook Air and MacBook Pro butterfly keyboards (2016-2018)
• AP12 advantage: repositionable silicone membrane, more reliable and durable
• Good to know: if the key is still faulty, choose a refurbished keyboard top case (Grade A / B / C).
