2016 13" top case replacement, revised keyboard?

[raymanh]

Just got the top case on my 2016 13" MBP nTB replaced due to keys sticking.

According to coconutbattery, the new battery was manufactured 111 days ago. Does that mean I have a newer top case with a revised keyboard?

You'd get a 2017 generation keyboard.

It's the same keyboard type as what is in the 2017 model, which they are still producing replacement parts for. The 2018+ had a larger battery attached to it, which is not compatible to replace in the 2016 and 2017 models.
