Keyboard replacing program: Same keyboard or gen3?

[mortenjensen]

Hi all,
I have a first-gen MBr in dire needs of a new keyboard - luckily covered by the replacing program. Just to know: Do Apple insert the same first-gen butterfly keyboard - or do they upgrade it to the newest one?

Perhaps this is not possible physically?

Can you ask for it?

Anyone knows?

Interested to know the answer as well.

This isn’t a definite answer, but I’ve seen at least one 2015 MacBook that appeared to have the 2017-style keyboard with the different symbols on the Control and Option keys.

YouTuber Luke Miani had his 2015 rMB keyboard replaced, but it was the same generation butterfly switches.

Had mine replaced but it was same generation as well.
