What Affects the Cost
Larger top case
The 15-inch and 16-inch keyboards sit in a bigger top case assembly, so parts cost more than on smaller models.
A few keys or the whole keyboard
If only a few keys fail, we can often replace the key caps and mechanisms on their own for much less than a full keyboard.
Butterfly or scissor mechanism
Butterfly keyboards (2016 to 2019) fail more often from dust and debris. Scissor keyboards (2020 and later) are more reliable and usually cheaper to fix.
