The Apple MacBook Pro 13 A2289 backlit keyboard is a tested OEM-spec replacement keyboard with US English ANSI layout, drop-in compatible with MacBook Pro 13 A2289 and A2251 laptops manufactured around 2020.

Why this keyboard works for your Apple MacBook Pro 13 A2289
This is not a generic universal keyboard. It is the exact OEM-style replacement part used by authorised Apple service centres — same plastic frame, same metal backplate, same FFC ribbon cable pin-out, and the US English ANSI layout that ships on most Pakistan-market Apple laptops. Pulled from a tested donor unit, every single key has been verified using a keyboard-test utility before it reaches our shelf.
