## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Works fine.
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 14, 2019*

I'm using it now to type this. Replacing keyboards in Mac laptops isn't for the for everyone. It is tedious work and requires patience,  a methodical approach, and a delicate touch. But it can save you hundreds of dollars and save you from shipping your machine out for someone else to do it.The keys on this replacement seem slightly flimsier than the originals, and that's why I'm giving four stars instead of five. In the long run, they may well prove just as durable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great product
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2019*

I gave it 4/5 stars because it isn't original quality. Apart from the it works great. If you've never replaced this and you dont have a knack for taking things apart and putting then back together, take it to a shop. This is a expert repair in my opinion.  Took me 3 hours but I finally got it and it works as it should. I have 2011 mackbook pro 15

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Limited use of keyboard
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2020*

****Heads up, in order to install you must remove over 50 screws, but that is a Mac thing. ****It was a perfect match and worked for 1-year. With the length of time it takes to access, remove and install new keyboard I was hoping for a little longer than 1-year.Today is January 24th and the delete key no longer works. Unfortunately, the support for this keyboard ended January 17th.
