I do not find a keyboard replacement for this model. It will probably need an upper case replacement. I'd take it back, sounds like you got cheated.

i have changed the keyboards on this model many times ... they are quite easy to change if you don't count the 80 some odd screws that keep the keyboard in

Your MacBook needs a new Topcase with new keys. An Apple Service Provider can help you with that. Probably the previous owner droped some liquid on the keyboard or travelled somewhere with high humanity e.g. Thailand, Singapore...

What are you a shill for Apple? Why do you think the repair guides were created? Did you add anything to the answer I already gave? Why post this inane answer at all?

brainless comment! Of course there is also the option to bring the Mac to an ASP. You can use the guides to evaluate if you are able to repair. If you are not, then you should not try and destroy more.
