I live in Brazil, and unfortunately things here are way more expensive than in any other country, such as US.
I've been using a generic Bluetooth Keyboard since I damaged my keyboard - 3 weeks ago - until I decide what to do, and I'm tired of it since I can't use my Macbook as it's designed for.
So far, I think I only have 3 options:
* Replacing only the keyboard myself - kind of afraid of doing it so;
* Find a 2015 A1502's used and undamaged top case - which is hard around here;
* Replacing the top case on an AASP - for around $727 USD.
Regarding replacing only the keyboard myself, I'm kinda afraid because I still have a few doubts:
* Do I need to take the batteries and trackpad off the top case to get to the keyboard?;
-
* Do I need to replace the rivets with screws? I'm really afraid of leaving it unstable or unflat.

* Are the 2014 and 2015 keyboards the same? Is there anything in particular I should pay attention before buying it and would it be a good idea to buy the backlight as well?
