Replace MacBook Pro 2018 15'' butterfly keyboard by scissor mechanism

Is it possible to replace the butterfly mechanism in a MacBook Pro 2018 by a Magic Keyboard (scissor mechanism)? And if it is, what would be the approximative cost?

Sorry this is not possible.


A replaced part gets the same part as the machine originally shipped with,


even under the repair program.

You can always trade in your old Mac for a new one.
