    Hi guys, some of you may have read my post before about going through 4 macbooks in 2 weeks. With my 4th replacement the right arrow key does not sit flush with the rest of the keys, it works fine though but it just bugs me that it's crooked. Now, can the keys be replaced individually or does the whole keyboard need to be replaced. It looks like the keys are not all joined like with a macbook so I'm just wondering if this is a quick fix that I/apple could do.

    Im kind of in the same boat, I bought myself a mbp about a week and a half ago. The enter key does not sit flush with the rest of the keyboard its lower in the top right corner and raised in the bottom left. Also my screen is a little bit warped on the left side, the right of screen sits flush when closed but the left is raised. Ive been on vacation back home and have been trying to decide whether to get a new one or just keep this one. I have it customized the way I want it and everything but I did pay alot of money for this so im just not sure.

    Honestly, I've gone through 4 macbook pros in 2 weeks and ALL had warped lids so I'd say that's a standard thing. As for the keys, I'd say these are hit and miss as all mine had a few keys not sitting flush. I'm sure it doesn't affect the performance but from a looks point of view it's a bit distracting.
