MacBook Pro M1 Uneven Keyboard Brightness

Hi everyone!

I got my top case replaced 4 times due to some issues and I just noticed unevenness in the light of my keyboard. Some keys are more brighter than others and when we look at the bottom of keys, some keys on my keyboard leaks light underneath it. It is quite annoying, please suggest me something and please tell if It is normal?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.1

That looks normal to me... I see no issue in your screen shot.


Its a back light to help assist in low light environment(?)

The keys simply float on the scissor mechanism—it was never designed to be water tight, its just a keyboard...


if it is annoying I suggest you turn it off:

Turn your Mac keyboard's backlighting on or off - Apple Support




If you think some how it should be more precise in some manner—
