Don't feel alone...


Butterfly keyboard has been an issue from the get go—finally Apple® abandoned it.


Re-introduced the improved "magic" scissors keyboard staring with 2019 16" MBP, This replaces the 2016-1019 butterfly keyboard after 3 generations of problems.

Mine is still giving me issues of double-triple typing characters most times. I read a lot of tips online on the issue all saying it's a manufacturer defect and that Apple did a recall repair for some lucky ones, as of when they announced the program. Am sure the program is long gone now. All I do now as regards keyboard malfunctioning is to double-check what I type per time ... I've tried a lot of tips provided by many that they claim worked for them to a bearable degree (some being a simple SMC- NVRAM reset while others used a software-based solution and to a few tweaks in keyboard system preference (the former and latter which I've tried) still no joy.




"The program covers eligible MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro models for 4 years after the first retail sale of the unit."


Since you never state what exact Mac this is, I can make no further comment.


Good luck.
