keys getting shiny... can i replace the keyboard??

Shiny from oil != paint wearing off.

If it is shiny from oil then it should be cleanable.

Something tells me the OP has tried to clean it already. Else he can get the idiot-of-the-year award

Whatever you do, DON'T use lighter fluid. Many folks use lighter fluid on a tissue to clean things (it's very good for removing grease, adhesive or sticky patches left by labels etc) but using on some plastics is not a good idea. If the plastic has a slightly matte or dull finish, wiping with lighter fluid can leave an unwanted shiny patch which is NOT rectifiable.

Question: Are the Macbook/Macbook Pro keys easily removable and replaceable without opening the casing? Does one just tug them or what?

I love the shiny look and feel! how do you suggest I get my keyboards to wear down faster???

Thanks!!
