Key double typing on 2018 MacBook Pro w/ Touch Bar

I have seen this issue for thousands of users - I assumed I got something stuck under my "O" key but after using the air can and realizing that other users are having this same issue without resolve, I am unsure of what to do. I am in law school and this has been happening for about a year and it is only the "O" key. Usually it happens only when I am typing rapidly and I can never get it to do it when I am focusing on the "O" key and only typing "O" to see if it will "double O" when I only click it once. Has anyone else figured out how to resolve this? (it just did it w/ this word) I have see forums where the "T" key does the same thing but it has never been resolved. PLEASE HELP!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.12

Hello stephaniejohns,


We understand that certain characters are repeating unexpectedly when you type on the keyboard of your MacBook Pro. We’d be glad to assist.


Based on the model of MacBook Pro that you are using, it sounds like it may qualify for the Keyboard Service Program. You can learn more about this program here:

Keyboard Service Program for MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro


The ’Service Process’ section of that resource has more information on how you can have your MacBook Pro inspected. 


Cheers!
