[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1422167, member: 24098"] Yeah, I agree that it's not meant to be done. As I said, the keyboard is usually sold as a complete unit with the topcase, which is the official "service part". But being that the keyboard has already been separated and the OP has a reference for the openings (essentially he needs to cut the divide to make room for the enlarged "return" key), it should be doable with some careful cutting. And of course, if it goes wrong, all he's out is a topcase, which he would have had to replace anyway ;) [/QUOTE]
