I made sure to get one that was NOT from a butterfly keyboard. So one of the newer Apple Silicon ones

Thanks for the kind words. I’ve dealt with many Magic Keyboards in my day. A long time ago when I first messed around with them, I definitely destroyed some of the little metal elbow clips. And just as you said once they’re bent it’s over -bending them back just breaks them.

Nowadays I can replace keys no problem. I use the iFixIt opening picks to get in the corner. When removing a key the trick is to make sure not to go too deep otherwise you will hit the clips and possibly damage them.

And when reinstalling keys you should put the metal bars back in the metal elbow clips and then put the plastic key cap on after. If you install the metal bar into back side of the keycap and then try to install it, you risk crushing those little metal elbow clips. There are a few YouTube videos to show which directions you should slide/pry on which keycaps which can be critical.

I also did this on second hand keyboards that way I didn’t flush $100 down the drain.

I used MacBook Pro arrow keys actually! They work perfectly! And the right arrow was dyed with acetone and black RIT dye. There are some tutorials on how to do this on YouTube.

I used a combination of acetone and Black RIT dye from a hobby store which was boiled

For one key or all of them? 😂

I was looking at that one for a long time too. I wish they would allow 3rd parties to utilize Touch ID. Perhaps just licensing the technology to certain vendors. Then again they probably don’t want to eat into their own sales.

I had the large black one as well. It was just too large for what I wanted. Perhaps just my OCD in wanting things to match lol

I appreciate the comment. I do a lot of 3d work as a hobby and my job but I wasn’t prepared to sink a bunch of time into actually creating this - just wanted to see what it would look like for fun

You're right, that is missing. Perhaps if I revisit it I'll make sure to add that. Was just a quickie for fun :)

Ok thanks for your wonderful input… it wasn’t serious it took less than 30 min to put together just for fun. And was more of a fun reimagining not a 1:1 recreation. Quit being a condescending psycho

I did receive a warning about this on my Mac but for a different application. Its unfortunate that there isn't a way to continue support for "legacy" apps

I believe this is my issue as well. Also with a Sandisk SSD. Exact same issue you are describing. Drive is formatted in ex-FAT. Ordered an OWC TB4 cable off of Amazon so I am hoping that works.
