Because the keyboard, trackpad, and palmrest are integrated into a single bonded assembly on this model, replacing the top case is the standard professional repair path — individual key replacement is not supported by Apple's design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Touch ID sensor in this assembly is electronically paired to the original donor MacBook's logic board via the Apple Secure Enclave. After installation into a different A2485, the physical power button works normally, but Touch ID biometric authentication requires re-pairing by Apple. Repair shops with Apple Service Provider access can complete the pairing; otherwise the user uses a password at login. This does not affect keyboard or trackpad usability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll keys, backlight zones, trackpad click mechanism, haptic engine, and Force Touch pressure sensitivity are verified during inspection.

style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eNo — this top case is designed exclusively for the MacBook Pro 16\" (2021, model A2485).
