I’m using external keyboard on my macbook because the letter i is not working and replacing the keyboard means completely gutting the thing and ripping the old one out by force as it’s locked in place with plastic rivets.
Having worked in a repair shop, I can give you instructions, but that would be assuming you have the resources and the tools to follow said directions and nothing should designed like that…
Where do I get the keyboard as a part from? I bought a keyboard from a seemingly branded seller on Aliexpress and the keyboard was really shit. The spacebar didn’t balance at the edges and all the key felt mushy.
I also bought a battery from iFixit and got two warranty replacements and not a single one lasted more than a few hours before bricking itself. As in the battery still measured a voltage and it could keep the ram contents in sleep but the controller/battery info no longer showed up in macOS.
I can do these repairs as difficult as they are but where do I actually get the parts from?

Thanks. There’s plenty of instructions on how to do it but in my case the biggest issue would probably be sourcing a new Finnish keyboard for it
This makes me happy and sad at the same time.
