I like iFixit teardowns. However, keyboards have never been a repairable peripheral so this is no surprise. You just throw them away and buy a new one at $169 a pop. 
Relax...take a deep breath...Nice teardown, but WHY THE **** IS THERE A REPAIRABILITY SCORE FOR AN ACCESSORY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRABLE EVER, DEAL WITH IT.
I can't believe they charge 169$ for this thing. Apple, 169$ keyboards and 250$ watch bands will get even the most die-hard fans like myself feeling ripped off. Get your act together.

Maybe for you... I like knowing what can be fixed and what can't. Would it be better for you if they just said, "This unit can not be serviced in any way, period"? That is essentially what they are saying anyway I don't see why one would get all bent out of shape about it.These 'tear-downs' and rating for repairabilty are so ten years ago. Honestly, who cares?
That's what they do. Why are you so angry?
We don’t want to debate climate change. We want to stop it - Apple![]()
Looks like you need to go to the Apple store for a new keyboard. Your caps lock key seems to be stuck. If only you could repair that.Nice teardown, but WHY THE **** IS THERE A REPAIRABILITY SCORE FOR AN ACCESSORY, IT'S NOT GOING TO BE REPAIRABLE EVER, DEAL WITH IT.
Thousands of engineers and Apple can't design a reparable, sustainable keyboard, with a 10 or 20 years warranty ? And they pretend to care about environment ?

Me. Fascinating to see how it's built. As for the scores I think FixIt give EVERYTHING a score. No need to get overexcited about it. There's probably an actual apple being peeled in the FixIt archives, and getting a 1/10 score because you can superglue it together afterwards but eatability suffers.
