MacBook Pro 15" (2018) Keyboard "t" key repeating issue?

I found something that worked for me. I write a lot on mij MacBook Pro 13" (2018) as well and I noticed the same issue many others in this section have; my 'r' key kept repeating itself 90% of the times I wrote a word with an 'r' in it. I type fast and when I backspace things I like my backspace to be fast as well. So I started thinking that maybe the issue is in one of my keyboard settings. I always had my 'key rehearsal tempo' on the highest setting, just like the 'repetition delay' setting. You might want to check if your settings are maxed out as well. If they are, change your 'repetition delay' 1 or 2 clicks lower. This fixed the repeating key problem for me.

Maybe your settings are ok. I'd still recommend trying to change the settings and try out what works. The amount of people having this issue is not ok. This MacBook is very expensive and you expect quality, which I always expect from Apple. This issue is small and yet so irritating, I didn't pay €2000 for a MacBook that drives your autism crazy...

Apple you have to fix this! You're a multi billion dollar company, help your customers with providing a good solution, not the mainstream solutions for everything.

This MacBook is, besides this issue, a huge blessing for my studies and writings. Just a small disclaimer ;)

Experiencing the same thing on my new macbook pro 2018, no dirt at all, using this app in the meanwhile: https://github.com/Aahung/Unshaky

Apple when you will fix the keyboard issue? We want to hear solutions!

"I've recently put Windows on to my Mac using Bootcamp, and it seems the issue doesn't exist there. The keyboard works perfectly. It's only when I'm in MacOS where I'm having this issue.

Can anyone else with this setup confirm this as well?"

I am using Parallels, but there the problem persists. So that would narrow it down to a driver issue.

For a while now, I've been using one of those protective rubber sheets over my keyboard and bizarrely it has helped alleviate the issue somewhat. The typing experience isn't fantastic but I end up deleting my last word less. So a net plus. As a bonus crap can't get into the keyboard.

Yep, experiencing the issue with a Macbook Pro 15" Mid-2018 / Model Identifier: MacBookPro15,1 (MR942LL/A) purchased on October 27th... this is so annoying, temporary I've fixed it with 'Unshaky' app

I have the same problem too (Macbook Pro, 15inch Mid-2018) - went in to Apple yesterday and the most they could do was clean the keyboard with compressed air. Straight after they'd done that I could reproduce the problem in front of the genius. Looks like its a fundamental design flaw with this keyboard - I wonder when the 2018 models will also receive the keyboard replacement program .... not that it will help.

I had my Macbook Pro 13" (2018) sent in for repair to the Apple depot for the repeating "t" key issue. I think they replaced the topcase, but I will report back once I receive it. I've had the laptop for about 2 months only, and I never use it around food or crumbs, so I'm not really sure what's causing the issue.

Today I spotted in the news that Apple has acknowledged there are issues with the 3rd generation keyboards. So we may see some movement on this. Crossing my fingers that they'll be able to solve this soon.

I have absolutely the same issue, the MacBook Pro from last quarter of 2018, top-spec, the letter 't' is double-typed frequently. It started happening after a couple of weeks of normal usage. I'm using the laptop for programming, so I type a lot and double-typing of 't' just drives me insane! :( I had the previous MacBook Pro (2017), which had its widely known keyboard problems, but I heard that in the new model the keyboard was improved. It indeed felt better at the beginning, but now with this problem I still am deeply dissatisfied.

I must mention that the before-touchbar models were perfect in terms of the keyboard, I had MacBook Pro 2014 with no keyboard issues for three years, and already two new models are terribly worse designed.

I must also mention that from the programmer point of view the touchbar is absolutely awful. You have it displaying F1-F12 keys, because they're used extensively in the IDE, you don't look at the keyboard when you type, but you touch them _accidentally_ without even looking there - and you start debugging, jump to symbols and do all sorts of unrequested stuff. This never happens with normal F-keys. But I'm forced to buy touchbar model, because I require the top performance for development.

The fact that Apple doesn't offer top performance without an awful downgrade in programmers usability that comes with the touchbar together with the keyboard problems in a $4K laptop drives me insane.

Same here.

I got the left CMD key stuck. and the space is repeating itself.

This seems to be a hardware problem with a faulty keyboard.

I'm not sure what to do as I've upgraded from an old better macbook.

This is a big deal.

Same issue. Started with 'e' key and spacebar. Brought it into apple, they replaced the top case. Worked for 2 weeks then started again. I type about 120wpm and am a programmer so this is extremely frustrating. I did notice it happens when cpu is high or heat is high. I tried killing AppleSpell process and a bunch of others to no avail. If it's a software issue, they need to issue an update. If it's hardware then they need to FIX IT!!!

Add me to the list of people with duplicate keypress issues. I'm on my 2nd 2018 15" MacBook Pro. My first one failed 3 times, and it was swapped out at the Genius Bar. This MBP is only a week old and the "I" key is already duplicating on me. I love these machines except for all the keyboard issue that keep occurring. One thing to note is it's a different key that fails each time.

I have this issue as well. I've had my keyboard replaced by apple and a couple months later the new keyboard is doing it again. I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2018). Very frustrating. So far it's been the 'r', 't' and 'v' keys.

Brought mine in last week and just picked it up. Keyboard is fixed (though reading this forum makes me think it is only temporary), but now the hinge makes a clicking/pop noise when I open the screen. Need to bring it back. Ugh.

You're still under warranty. Take it Apple for repair.
