Complaints have plagued the "butterfly-style" keyboard since its launch and recent models have suffered failures.
"Apple or an Apple Authorised Service Provider will examine user's device to verify eligibility and then perform the service free of charge," Rene Ritchie, Editor and Apple analyst wrote in a blog post on iMore late on Friday.
The iPhone-maker designed and incorporated the mechanism in new MacBooks and MacPro keyboards to distribute the pressure on a single key evenly, thus, increasing the precision in typing.
The keys are arranged in a single assembly and the keyboard is made from a stiffer material.
