Keyboard issues with MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)

I have some serious Keyboard issues with MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)..first off the A,D, O keys re worn

Then the D key died, i removed the actual key off the keyboard to continue typing (very hard) to use the D key, now i have issues with the A and S Keys..

do i have to replace the whole Keyboard now?

I have never seen anyone make holes in their keyboard like that.

Replacing keyboard would be expensive. I suggest buy a new Mac and type with the pads of your fingers if you have long fingernails.

Assuming it is just the key and not the keyboard, you can replace just the key - see this - Apple Unibody Macbook Pro Keyboard Key Replacement (2013 - 2016)

Really weird... I'm curious, do you often use moisturizer on your hands? I would almost guess there's some sort of chemical reaction happening between the plastic and an oil or chemical in a skin product, causing the plastic keys to disintegrate over time.

there are no holes, besides the A key removed the other the keys faded, i found many other owners with this issue with macbooks made between 2012 - present, it seems as Apple implemented cheaper materials for profit.
