MacBook Pro 2016 Random Key Repeat Keyboard Issue

Pressing the "enter" key will often behave as pressing it twice (i.e. it will repeat the press once more). This is a very severe issue / problem / bug especially if you're coding, editing text or using Terminal as much as I do.

Below are all the similar threads I could find - None of which seem to provide a solution to this mystery:

2016 MacBook pro 15" defective keyboard

Keyboard, K key sporadically not working, 2016 MBP

A1707 Macbook Pro 15 2016 keyboard randomly repeats the "R" key.

MacBook Pro 2016 keys malfunctioning?

Enter/Return Key Not Working As Expected (Macbook Pro 2016 Touch Screen)

Will this be fixed in a future software update? How can this issue get traction with Apple?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, macOS Sierra (10.12.3), (15-inch, 2016, 2.9GHz/1TB SSD/460)

Since "upgrading" to 10.12.4 I have noticed that my comma key often repeats now when editing code. Prior to this update i.e. earlier the same day I never experienced this issue.

I guess I am seeking clarity as to whether this is a software issue or a very coincidental hardware issue ... I really don't want to lose the use of the machine while it is being "repaired" if it turns out to be a software issue.

I am using a 15" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar bought December 2016

Do Apple ever actually acknowledge issues like this? Do they have an issue tracker?

I have come up a solution to this double keystroke problem using a tiny piece of double sided tape. Watch my video that shows you how I fixed it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhUdXhoDWDk
