Apple Design Keyboard M2980

Made in Mexico or USA Version (Assembled or Manufactured). For M2980 keyboard identification, click here.

The bottom of this version features short, wide flip down feet (2). Square rubber feet (2). Stamped label on right side. 3 screws on bottom case. Upon removal of bottom case, the backplate/membrane assembly is secured to the top case by plastic rivets. The controller board sits on plastic posts which you squeeze together to remove.

To replace any parts in here, the rivets would need to be broken off and it would have to be screwed back together.

Keyboards work 100%, and the cables are fine. The cases have numerous ridges and are not visually pleasing even if they show little to no discoloration (if you look closely at last photo, you’ll see a small sampling of the ridges). So, parts…
