keyboard - Alphabet "A" rubbing off

does any one else have this problem with MacBook Pro 2018 w touchbar. My alphabet A on the keyboard is fading away, whilst the other keys are ok and my 8 yr old MacBook Air does not show any wear and tear as such. this is seriously ridiculous for apple to have this happen. not sure if they will give me additional warranty for this.

MacBook Air 2019 keyboard showing signs of wear I purchased a MBA five months ago and I'm very surprised to see that keys frequently used are slowly turning white. The black rubs off and the letter is gradually fading into white. While searching these posts I found one reply that said: "laptops are not meant for such heavy use, so it's your fault, not the laptop's." I found that quite hilarious. Are we meant to believe that this keyboard can't hold up to daily use?

keyboard wearing out I have a MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2018) - three of the keys are very worn down (can't see the letters) and some keys seem to stick. It's a year old and I don't feel like the keyboard has held up at all. Just curious if others have experienced this or if I'm extra hard on my keyboard. Any options for keys that seem to stick?

New Macbook Air M2 keyboard longevity I purchased the new Macbook Air M2 in Midnight and the keyboard is already wearing. I use it daily for work, and in the short months that I have owned it the matte coating on some of the keys is already started to wear. I'm left with a few shiny ones and a shiny spot on the space bar where my thumb hits it. I purchased cleaner and clean it frequently but it's permanent at this point. Is there anything I can do to restore it? I have a late 2013 model Macbook Pro and the keyboard is still completely intact like the day I bought it. Never had it ware on me...

Does the keys feel "sticky"? If so, Apple has this Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro. Find out more on this link: https://support.apple.com/keyboard-service-program-for-mac-notebooks

Does your device has warranty?

I suggest to contact Apple Support about it for you to have the best options.
