MacBook Air 13" M5 (2026) Keyboard Replacement

MacBook Air 13" M5 (2026) Keyboard Replacement Description
If keys on your MacBook Air 13-inch M5 don't respond, type twice, stick, or the keyboard stopped working after a spill, the keyboard needs replacing. Like the M2 Air, this model's keyboard is held in by screws and can be replaced on its own, without a whole new top case, which costs less. It's still a full teardown: the battery and logic board come out to reach it. We fit a new US keyboard with its backlight and keep your original Touch ID button, so Touch ID keeps working. Because the battery is out anyway, ask us about replacing a worn battery at the same time for less.

Symptoms this repair should fix:

• Keys don't respond or type twice
• Sticky or crunchy keys
• Keyboard stopped working after a spill
• Keyboard backlight not working
