    I've had my MBP for about 4 month now and have been having problems with its keyboard since I bought it. First, the "Z" key sank in (I think there was a problem with the spring). I took it to the Apple Store, and they "fixed" on the spot (it's much harder to press and only registered a key press 70% of the time). The lower right corner of the "E" has noticeably sunk in, and I need to resort to pressing the upper left corner. Also, the left side of the keyboard feels "mushy", not hugely so, but definitely noticeable after typing a few sentences.

    Are these problems common? Can I request that Apple just replace the entire keyboard instead of just individual keys? Thanks :D

    I dont experience the issues that you have.

    But yes, you could request for the keyboard replacement, since you had to make many trips back for keys replacement.

    cheers ...
