## Description

Details: Applicable model: For MacBook Pro Retina 13 "&15" A1706 A1707 A1708 and for MacBook 12 "A1534 2017, (Not suitable for A1534 2015 and 2016 models) Installation tips: 1. When taking out the old spacebar cover, gently lift it from the upper left corner to the upper right corner (first release the top button), then take out the old spacebar cover; 2. If the white butterfly hinge is not damaged, when installing the space key cap, first aim at the buckle at the lower end of the key cap and then gently press the upper end.(Please do not press directly, it is easy to break the key cap or hinge); 3. If the white butterfly hinge is damaged, loosen the left (or right) clasp of the hinge first and then replace the new hinge If you encounter difficulties, you can feel free to contact us in time, we have professional engineers to help you. Pre-shipment test, 100% working well Package includes: 1 X spacebar key cap and hinge

Review: Great if you know how to install it! - All pieces arrived in apparently new condition, unbroken, and in working order. You can't just "snap" these things on, you have to know what you are doing, i.e. very carefully remove the underneath brackets that are glued down to the computer. VERY carefully, otherwise you can break them because of too much bending, but go slow and use both hands when taking a thin spatula of some sort and slide them under the pieces until they are free. Thankfully you really don't need to add adhesive afterwards since the adhesive remains on the objects well enough to put them back into place after removal. Once the pieces are removed (I only removed 2 out of the 3 [left and center pieces] since the 3rd [right-side] is fine where it's at if you just position the upper bracket's prongs correctly to be fitted inside the fitting area of the lower bracket) then you can put the upper bracket down (positioned correctly with topside / bottom-side as well as "flip-side" / youtube it you'll see) THEN re-attach the underneath bracket pieces that were glued down OVER the prongs on the upper bracket that was positioned after lower bracket removal. After that, you gently snap the spacebar casing onto the upper bracket (topside snaps, bottom-side is slid into first). If you have an engineering mind, this replacement is actually quite easy and will save you $400-500 for replacing the entire keyboard. Highly recommend! using a magnifying glass to assess all pieces helps to make sense of everything. The only unintuitive things about this install is the "flip-side" positioning of the upper bracket (the bracket in this purchase) and the top/bottom-side positioning. That is a bit difficult to know unless researched prior to this repair. All in all, it took me about 15-20 minutes with research to do it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it have installation instructions? If not can you please link a youtube video?**
A: Hello, friend, please refer to the video for installation. There are several points for attention during installation:
1. Please distinguish the upper/lower position of the white hinge and the black key cap, because the buckle position is different;
2. First install the white hinge buckle on one side, and then install the other side, and then adjust the position of the white hinge after installation, to ensure that it is in the middle position, if it is too tight to one side may appear the space bar will not rebound phenomenon;
3. After installing the hinge, install the black space bar. Please install the buckle on the bottom side first.
