MacBook Pro 2016 15" butterfly keyboard problem

Amazing isn't it? You buy this expensive machine, which was designed and manufactured with a faulty keyboard design and Apple makes you pay for their mistake. In what other ******* company in the world would this be considered acceptable? Apple are you listening? I bought AppleCare just so I can plan on having them replace this a minimum of 5 times after the standard warranty has expired. I sure hope this gaff severely eat into their profits

I have the same problem! Mine is with the "i"key though. It just doesn't make the click sound when I press on it, and I have to press extra firmly on it for it to type. I don't have a spray can for air to blow out the dust, and I already tried blowing underneath the key. It didn't work. Is there any other method that I can use to make the "i" key free? ANd how on earth did so much dust get caught underneath only one keyboard key?

Exactly the same issue on 2017 15" Enter Key

Hardly used my internal Keyboard

No luck with a quick Fix so far...

Writing this text I realise that the function of the Enterkey is limited to the top part...(German Keyboard)

Very Worrying

today a guy at Gravis an officially licensed Apple retailer told me I was in bad luck the late 2016 model had all kinds of problems. But the keyboard issues were more or less fixed in the 2017 model.

Just don't buy the late 2016 model!

Guys, after reading around, I've solved this.

There's so much less space around and under the new keyboard, that dust and little dirt effects the keyboard much quicker. I simply blew fiercely around and under the stuck key, and it promptly worked again.

It's dangerous though (humidity could lead to component corrosion), Apple recommends to use compressed air spray instead : Clean the keyboard of your MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) and later - Apple Support

The 'U" key on my brand new MB Pro 15 has to be pressed really hard.

😠

jasnyc87, how did you find a 2015 MacBook Pro? I'd go that route if I could, but I can't find them anymore.

that's ridiculous. Apple should call back all late 2016 MacBooks and replace them with the new and improved versions.

and the next thing the Apple store people will tell you:

You damaged the key by pressing it too hard

They removed a link to my documentation of this problem.

Apparently Apple doesn't want those whose work is hindered due to faulty keyboard to know they're not alone.

Yup, $ilence is golden

I'm danish too and have the same problem - I'm so annoyed. It's the enter key, but other random keys also gets stuck (still working, but the key does not move/click when pressed) - right now it's Arrow up, Enter and the danish letter Æ. I really miss the keyboard of my old Macbook Pro Retina (and the ports) - this keyboard is crap and SO noisy when typing fast :-/

Same thing for me. In the beginning it was just the arrow up key. Now it's starting at the "A" key as well. Like it's getting stuck and don't pop up again. On the A key the problem is on the right side of the key.

MBP 2016 13" (no touch bar), experiencing the same, although with the "6"-key. Has to be pressed harder to register and also has (even) less travel distance. As I recall, it just suddenly became like that.

My MacBook Pro 13" is 2 weeks old, and since the 2nd day of having it the 'm' key was sticking, or not responding, but also wasn't making a click. Then it cleared up and the 'enter' key started doing it. Then that cleared up and my 'up arrow' was doing the same thing. Now the 'm' and 'up arrow' are both doing it along with the 'b' key and '3' key. Haven't had a chance to take it in to the store, but will be very soon.
