Because inside the top case, keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers all sit together in a firmly riveted aluminum frame — and to save time, the entire unit ordinarily gets changed even when just one single key is acting up. At the Sadaghian workshop your Mac lands on the microscope bench instead: the keyboard rivets get removed there, glued parts are eased apart gently, the new components go in and are fastened permanently with special micro-screws. That takes longer, but costs you noticeably less — and the original housing, battery and trackpad stay right where they are. Every keyboard generation comes through the shop: the Butterfly keyboard (2015-2019, infamously sensitive to crumbs and dust), the Magic Keyboard from 2019 onward, and the current Apple Silicon models all the way to the M5. ## What it costs Keyboard, trackpad and speaker prices at a glance - Keyboard renewal: from €180 — depending on the case, single keys get re-seated or the entire keyboard assembly gets changed - Trackpad renewal: from €160, with Force Touch and Taptic Engine alignment included - Speaker renewal: from €120, covering even the elaborately glued speakers of Apple Silicon Macs - Top case changed as a whole: from €120 using a refurbished top case — sensible on a very old Mac or with a damaged housing Analysis and shipping cost nothing, and a concrete cost estimate comes before every repair. Replaced parts carry a 12-month warranty. ## From our workshop - MacBook Air (M2, 2022) · mailed in from the Bonn area · €480 — Top case repaired, trackpad replaced, logic board cleaned. - MacBook Air 13" (M4, 2025) · mailed in from Lübeck · €380 — Top case repair with keyboard replacement and cleaning. - MacBook Pro 14" (2021) · mailed in from Lower Saxony · €360 — Keyboard unit replaced on its own — the top case stayed original. ## FAQ ### Does a dead MacBook keyboard force a complete top-case swap? No. The industry norm is the complete swap at €500-800, since keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers are riveted to one another. The workshop instead de-rivets the faulty component and replaces it alone — from €120, with your original housing staying put. ### What price should I expect for a MacBook keyboard repair? The keyboard starts at €180, the trackpad at €160, speakers at €120 and the complete top case at €120. Analysis and shipping are free of charge — you learn the concrete price before the repair via the cost estimate. ### How does shipping work — and is it insured? You request the free DHL label in 30 seconds — no account needed — drop the parcel off at DHL or Deutsche Post and follow every step online. The shipment is insured, and return shipping is free as well. ### How do I pack my MacBook safely? Power the device off, wrap it in bubble wrap or a soft cloth and seat it in a sturdy box with padding so nothing can shift. Only include the charger if it is part of the problem. The step-by-step guide is at emonis.com/versand. ### How long is my MacBook away in total? Allow 1–2 business days of shipping each way. After arrival, the free analysis follows — usually within one working day for display and battery problems, typically 2–3 working days for water damage (sometimes less, sometimes more), otherwise usually 1–3 working days; you then decide based on the cost estimate, and the repair time itself depends on the damage. You can see the current status in the portal at any time. ## Send in your device — free Free analysis, 12-month warranty, free shipping both ways. You decide only after the diagnosis.
