❓ Frequently Asked Questions
OEM Original vs Third-Party?
OEM Original: Genuine Apple, correct butterfly feel, long lifespan.
Third-Party: Clones often have stiff keys and inconsistent response.
Does this fit Touch Bar models?
No — Touch Bar models A1706/A1707 use a backlit keyboard with a different structure.
Is this keyboard backlit?
No — the A1708 uses a non-backlit keyboard. Your original backlight sheet is reused.
Can I install it myself?
Possible but challenging — A1708 keyboards are glued to the topcase. Professional installation is recommended.
