Macbook air (11inches) ghost typing “/“ key

I’m having trouble with my macbook air, it’s been typing the key “/“ continuously, even when I am open my macbook every log in needs so much effort just to delete few “////////…” of those key, and when i’m in my notes the key “///////“ just kept typing on its own, I tried doing the safe mode thing and started restarting it but its just the same.


Can anybody help me out?

MacBook Air 11″, macOS 12.7

Sounds like you may have a stuck "/" key or a faulty keyboard.


If it is a stuck key, then perhaps an Apple Store tech or an Apple Authorized Service Provider tech can try cleaning the "/" key. I don't recommend the average user to do this since it has become a lot more difficult with the more recent Macs. If a tech is unable to clean the key mechanism, then they will need to replace the entire Top Case/Keyboard Assembly which will be expensive.


If you have an external keyboard connected, perhaps the stuck key is on the external keyboard instead of the built-in Keyboard.
