Why is my MacBook keyboard bending and flexing in certain areas?

I first noticed this when I bought it a couple of days ago and I would say it's much worse in person than on the video. I hope you can solve my issue!

I'm suspecting your keyboard was replaced as some point and the tech who did it didn't do such a great job.

The keyboard is held by plastic rivets which you need to take out and then use screws to replace them. The tech didn't replace all of them (may not have not gotten them all out) which is why the keyboard is flexing.

A good tech can repair this or you could do it as well.

I bought a new keyboard for it but is it worth replacing? It seems really tricky.

@Tom Dilli - Did you get the screws with it? You may only need to drill out the plastic rivets to then finish mounting the current keyboard. I bet thats all it will need unless the keyboard its self is bad.
