Hey,

I wanted to know whether or not it's possible to get some PBT replacement keycaps for a Macbook Pro Retina 15.

As the keyboard should be about the same on any Macbook product (except for the new "Macbook"), and even on the Apple Aluminium keyboard, could it be possible to do a group buy on those? :D

Best regards,
David

Really, really doubtful.

There's a couple different vendors (with incompatible keycaps) for the keyboards (you can only determine which one you have by pulling a keycap) on the 15" Retina, and the 15" Retina's keyboard is only shared with the 13" Retina and the recent MacBook Airs. The old 13" with an optical drive uses a different (longer travel) keyboard, as does the Apple Aluminum keyboard.

there are also different mounts for them ( slightly ) i have had 2 13 inch 09 MBP that have had different key mounts that are not compatible with each other.

Only slightly different but enough to hamper your search .
