Upgrade (not replace) MacBook Pro 2017 Keyboard

Hello,

I own a 2017 13’’ MacBook pro (two thunderbolts no touch bar) bought in Jan/2018 and I absolutely hate the keyboard. Hate the sound it makes, I hate how little displacement of the keys. Sometimes I even go back to working on my MPB 2011 just to remember how good Apple’s keyboards were. However, I have noticed that the newer MacBook pro’s (2020-onwards) keyboard is noticeably better. I was wondering if any knows if it’s possible to install a 2020 MacBook pro keyboard system on a MacBook Pro 2017. An upgrade of sorts. I looked it up online and didn’t find anything on it, just a replacement of the damaged keys. I guess the issue would be to actually find an original keyboard from apple to replace it with.

If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

Best,

Sadly, there is no options to replace the keyboard to a newer design. It’s just not possible.

Yeah, I got feedback from the Apple Support Community and apparently, the keyboards are not the same dimensions and would not fit.
