Repeated Keyboard Issues on MacBook Pro 2017

I have this problem on a 2017 MBP as well. Various keys (it's currently the 'k' key) require that I hit them at a certain place on the key face; if I hit a corner, the key doesn't work.

The keyboard is fantastic otherwise, it's the best I ever have used.

My 'solution' has been to blow out the keyboard using high pressure air. Sometimes just blowing a sharp stream of air (from my mouth) at the key that isn't working clears up the problem. I think tiny pieces of dust or debris get stuck beneath the key and you need to dislodge them. I'm fortunate to have a compressor in my studio, so that sometimes works as well. I think one of those cans of compressed air photographers use to clean lenses might work as well.

I agree, I purchased a 2017 Macbook Pro 13 and had same issues with the keyboard that everyone else is having. My huge concern is out of warranty repair of $700 for Keyboard. I ended up selling my Macbook Pro 13 on eBay and purchased a Dell Latitude on ebay for $600 that came with a 5 year warranty from dell. intel i5, 8gb ddr4 ram and 256gb SSD. Oh yeah and it comes with 3 usb & 1 usb C, hdmi, micro sd and 4g LTE. I can upgrade memory, ssd & battery in less than 5 minutes. I really do enjoy Apple Products however, with Apple pushing the price boundaries this year on the MacBook & iPhone and Battery Gate I'm slowly moving away from their products for now..... Always open to coming back to them if they start to change.

Don't get my started on Social Responsibility.

Absolutely. I am facing a similar issue of the key "B" not working or rather works when i hit it with enough pressure.

The laptop is barely used and it is under warranty. I would like to negotiate with a completely new one as the repairs take more than 2 weeks.

What a bummer!

Any chance they could provide you with a loaner while yours is being repaired? I have heard that you can sometimes arrange something like this.

Good luck!
