13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Battery Replacement Program

The keyboard is shameful. I'm traveling so I can't replace it, but inside of five months, two of my keys (A and T) will lift up with my finger as I type, right off the keyboard.

No physical damage either. The C-clamp holding them in just loosened a nanometer and it doesn't work anymore.

If I could go back five months, I'd replace my MBP with an old Air. I would've thought I had a particularly defective unit had my friend not had the same problem. His 2017 MBP collects dust while he went back to his 2015 MBP.

Jesus, me too. Same keys. Are we able to replace them at all? I keep reading mixed opinions and I'm not sure where the facts are. I found some replacement tutorials but it required buying an entire keyboard's worth of keys, haha. Maybe at this rate I'll need them...

Easily the worst keyboard I've had on a laptop. It's pretty awful for a $3000+ CAD investment.
