❓ Frequently Asked Questions
OEM Original vs Third-Party?
OEM Original: Genuine Apple, perfect typing feel, long lifespan, 3-month warranty.
Third-Party: Cheaper clone, inconsistent butterfly response, may trigger keyboard errors.
Does this fit Touch Bar models?
No — Touch Bar models (A1706 / A1707) use a backlit keyboard and different mounting system.
Is this keyboard backlit?
No — the A1708 UK keyboard is non-backlit. Your MacBook uses a reusable backlight film.
Can I install it myself?
Yes, but not recommended. A1708 keyboards are glued and require top-case removal. We offer affordable installation.
