Description
The MacBook Pro 13″ A2251 marks an important turning point in Apple’s keyboard history — it is the first MacBook Pro 13″ with Touch Bar to feature the Magic Keyboard scissor mechanism, moving away from the notorious butterfly switches of previous generations. This EXIN replacement keyboard preserves that reliable typing experience with a brand-new assembly designed to exact OEM specifications.
The A2251 uses a more compact key layout than the 16″ MacBook Pro, featuring 65 (US) or 66 (ISO) keys, with a full Touch Bar, Touch ID, and 4 inverted-T arrow keys. The scissor mechanism offers 1mm key travel with stable, well-supported actuation that outlasts the butterfly design by a wide margin.
This EXIN kit includes the keyboard assembly and a full 50-piece screw set, meaning you have everything needed for a complete repair without sourcing additional hardware separately. Each unit is tested for full key functionality before shipment.
⚠️ Compatibility Warning — Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports Only:
The A2251 (EMC 3348) is the “Four Thunderbolt 3 ports” variant of the 2020 MacBook Pro 13″. It is not the same as the A2289 (EMC 3456, “Two Thunderbolt 3 ports” variant), which uses a different keyboard assembly. Verify your model number on the bottom case before ordering.
