    Physical swap of keyboard layout

    Hi, I have been thinking of buying a refurbished macbook with a US keyboard layout, but would prefer to have a french layout. Is it possible to swap the keys, and if thats possible how expensive would that be? Are there any other differences between a mac bought in the US and in Europe?

    Keys on 2020 M1 Macbook Air peeling after cleaning with isopropyl alcohol after small spill

    Keyboard (minus function keys) stops working until restart on M1 Pro MBP 14" (2021)

    My keyboard will randomly stop working until I restart my computer by holding down the power/TouchID button. I don't seem to have any weird modifier keys, and I haven't been able to figure out a solution yet. I deleted the keyboard preference files, but that didn't help. I've turned Bluetooth...

    How does the MBP M3 16" keyboard feel?

    I'm on an M1 Pro 16" and the keyboard isn't my favourite due to the 'hollow' typing experience. Compared to say an M1 or M2 MBA, those feel more solid and don't have that cheap plastic clickety-clack sound. Considering an upgrade, just curious what your keyboard experience is like.

    Mac Mini M2 Pro Monitor

    I’m purchasing a new Mac Mini M2 Pro and I’m just not sure what monitor to buy. I’ve already decided to get the Keychron C2 mechanical keyboard (or maybe Logitech MX Mechanical), and the Logitech MXS mouse. I want a wired keyboard. I just don’t trust the wireless stability. I haven’t made my...

    MP 1,1-5,1 Mac Pro 3.1 Overclocking. Keyboard problem

    I see that most of overclockers here prefer to buy Xeon 3.2 GHz(for FSB = 400GHz) and 400GHz memory. Not a good choice because the entire overclocking process will be limited by memory frequency limit. That is why most of results are in the range 3.4-3.5GHz. I bought two Xeon X5460(3.16)...

    Mini M2 won't recognise my numeric keyboard (cabled).

    My new Mac Mini won't work with my numeric keyboard. The numeric part, that is. Annoying and weird. Mac's seem to become un-user friendly. And don't ask me about Logitech!!!

    Sonoma introduced a severe bug that affects all apps: If you trigger a Save dialog one way or another, the app's icon starts bouncing in the Dock and the app isn't the frontmost process anymore. That is, it doesn't respond to keyboard until you manually bring the app back into focus by either...
