Stuck key on 12 inch Macbook keyboard

I also have an early macbook 12" that is now almost useless. The space bar, left shift and 'e' key no longer function. The space bar is physically off the laptop and I have tried to find a replacement key but there is nothing in stock. I did replace the 'e' key successfully but the shift key only worked for a few days. I called Apple repair and it would cost about $500 to repair it. For me that is hard to swallow, but it is also hard to have a 2 year old Apple laptop that is junk. I still have a perfectly working first generation macbook aluminum so this is very disappointing to me. What is more frustrating is I see many articles and complaints but Apple only seems to offer an expensive repair. I really hope they step up and fix this issue or I might have to give up on them.

Same here. Apple makes some shoddy hardware and then it’s the customer’s problem.

Very similar with the first generation retina displays with defective screen coating.

This butterfly keyboard needs to be replaced with something else. On the previous generation machines I never had a stuck key once in more than three years.

Samehere,stickey space bar return key andshift key. Itspainfulto try to work with a productso shoddy asmyexpensiveMacbook. <-And this is a good sentence example. Iwasjust about to order a newMBPbut nowreading that the keyboard is the same,Iamnot investing again for a 4th laptopfromApple. My MacBookisout of warranty,but just before it went out a year ago,Ihad the keyboard replaced...andnowbasically a year after,this is my typing life.

BacktoDellIguess.

Hi folks, unfortunately I have an issue with some of the butterfly keys. Otherwise the new MacBook Pro 12" butterfly keyboard is a bliss to write. Must admit that with my previous MacBook Air I haven't had any issue over an intensive working period of 5 years.

This has happened from day one for me.

Seems to go from SHIFT to SPACEBAR.

So annoying!

I love the MACBOOK but dont think I will get it again 😟

Are these 2017 models having the issue?

Yes mine does. I got an iPad Pro With no keyboard. Thinking of using it over the MacBook as it's so hard to type reports etc.

That's good advice if you live near an Apple Store, but millions and millions of people do NOT!

Totally agree. It seems like apple is screwing the users again. It's happened with many other issues in the past too.

Hey what kind of compressor to blow air do you have? not sure which one to buy 😐

Thanks so much, I just bought one 🙂 lets see!

It's like "How dare you expect your $3000 MacBook Pro to perform as well as a $500 PC laptop!"

Yeah, I've heard of many complaints about Surfaces. And it's a shame that top IT giants and other players still can't provide us with flawless product even for premium price.

I'm having the same problem too, and of course it's 1 month out of warranty. Any experience with getting it fixed out of warranty?

Im also having this problem. 2017 MacBook with a stuck space bar. Apple Store sent it off for repair on Monday.
