MacBook Pro 2016 15" butterfly keyboard problem

I just bought the 2015 MacBook Pro instead. I always feel more assured when apple products have been on the market a while that there won't be all of these hiccups. I tried out the new keyboard in store and wouldn't have minded if I got that one, but with all of the issues ...yikes. I think the 2015 model keyboard also has more travel which makes it more comfortable for long term typing as it feels more cushiony , which I'm also a bigger fan of.

This seems to be par for the course now that Jobs isn't around. Such a shame considering they used to pride themselves in quality. Clearly, and there is no debating this, this is a product defect - a defect Apple has still failed to acknowledge. My advice? Return the piece of **** and get an older model used. Or check out the new XPSs.

Here'sthe feedback I just sent to Apple, regarding their crap touchbarMacBook Prokeyboards:

I am on a 13" touchbar MBP, which just days ago had the entire top case replaced due to keyboard defects. I am typing on the new keyboard, which has, so far, had a stuck left CMD key, stuck up-arrowkey, and as I type this now, aspacebar that is stuck down. (As you can perhaps tell from the absence ofspaces here and there in this message.)

The computerthat had this topcase replaced wasitself a replacement ofa 15" MBP which I originally purchased,which also had stuck keys (as well as failing powerdiagnostics.)

I've had enough. The owner of at least 15 Apple devices, between iPhones,iPads, AppleTV's and MacBooksPros, I am not going to waste time with thisany more.

Thekeyboarddesign is obviously defective. I am going to buy a Windows notebook -- something I thought I'dnever again do.

I am beyond frustrated. Why did Apple screw up a keyboard design that worked fine? I use the computer for work, and I can't spend my life taking this computer to the Apple Store.

Dust might be responsible for this. Follow Apple's instructions to clean your keyboard: Clean the keyboard of your MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) and later - Apple Support

No doubt. But the issue is that the keyboard is incredibly prone to this happening ALL THE TIME. It comes and goes, which is a major problem. By the time you get it to Apple Store, half the time it's gone -- but not before you've lost days of productivity.

Have this problem with my MacBookPro 2016 15" too. First problem came up as the Backspace key stopped working after around 3 month. I got an new keyboard implemented. Now the "b" seems to start with the same problem. Annoying ... in particular as Apple does not do the repair in store ... 😟

Agree. More people should know. I finally had the time to do something about the problem that was growing worse. I was wasting time w my space key (I had already adjusted to only being able to shift w the right shift key & the repeating #3 had subsided somewhat or perhaps I adapted) but now I couldn't do any typing. I could have sent them my broken computer then they would have sent me another computer but I wasn't giving up my computer even w applecare. So more people should know about this. They have made their problem ours & we're the one's spending time and money at our expense.

ntb 13" here. Same thing. It just doesn't feel as clicky as the rest. It does not get stuck, but definitely feels bad pressing it.

Considering replacing it next year. I tried out the others in the store and all were fine.

Yes, I'm using a Hungarian one with the 2 row Enter key.

Very concerning problem IMO.

Just went into an apple store. The ntMBP that was put out earlier has the same problem.

The new tbMBP does not.

Touchbar and non-touchbar.

Something like that. I'm afraid this is going to happen again, like with the display model I checked today.

Quite disappointed. If I bring it to the shop in january, it will take 1-2 weeks to fix it. That's awfully long time to be without a computer that may break again.

Same for me, but on a US type keyboard, on a 13" TB model. For me both the enter and the shift key below it feel different than the rest of the keyboard, although the enter is much more noticeable. I thought maybe I've gotten food or something in it, but there really isn't a lot of space around the key for food to get in there. And it's still pretty new, so that'd be very unlucky.

Same problem with the EU Enter Key on a 13" Touch Bar. I guess it's just too big for Apple's butterfly technology and they've probably not tested it extensively since they use American keyboards.
