looks like MacBook Pro 16" 2023 model also has the crooked spacebar !!!

I bought the MacBook Pro 16" (M2 Max) at first i didn't notice it but after few days like 20 or so days approximately; when the backlight was "ON" and the brightness of the room was low that's when i noticed that my keyboard's spacebar on the right side is tad bit up compared to left side of the spacebar. Anyone who has faced the issue please clarify is it just normal or it's a defect.

This is your picture modified by superimposing a line extending from its left to right limits. I can perceive no lack of parallelism or crookedness or skew or anything that could possibly be interpreted as defective:



Perception is subjective, therefore your perception is different than mine. Neither one is "correct". They're just different. I cannot tell you what you perceive. Obviously you are of the opinion your spacebar is crooked, so proceed on the basis of your perception.


I believe you may be conflating a change of backlight brightness with some kind of misalignment. For example if you were to examine the F, G, H, J keys the difference in brightness beneath the keys is obvious (at least it is for me). However, the Mac's keyboard backlight is intended to illuminate the key legends which (again, for me) it seems to accomplish evenly across your picture.


Best wishes with however you decide to proceed.
