Hi, I apologize if I gave you the impression that I didn’t care about your situation. I definitely was not suggesting in any way shape or form that you should choose Windows over Mac. I’m not sure where those comments are coming from.
Yes, it is totally possible for an Apple certified Tech to replace the keyboard on your MacBook Pro. My recommendation at the time came from the prospective of replacing the entire keyboard because of one key. Now, if that “one” key is integral to your productivity, then, for sure, it is worth the expense of a new keyboard installation. The new keyboard installation will be far less expensive when compared to a totally new device. In the meantime, an external keyboard could be of use if interacting with that arrow key is a problem in its current state.
