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

Have this exact same issue, a nd resetting SMC and NVRAM didn't do anything for me. I have made an appointment with the Apple Genius Bar, and hope something comes of it because it's driving me crazy.

Same here, E and I mostly but my O is doing it too. It's actually so frustrating that I now consider the laptop as being unusable since I constantly have to correct almost everything I'm typing. I've copied all my stuff off and clean installed it and it's sat unused for a few days and will continue to sit unused until I have the time to get to an Apple store.

Unfortunately, I can't let myself be stuck with what's clearly a product with an inherent design flaw so I'm going to have to get it fixed and then sell it on. I don't want to go back to a Windows laptop but then I don't want to have to pay hundreds every few months to get a replacement keyboard once that thing is out of warranty. It's ridiculous.

Oddly enough when I contacted Apple support and asked if this was a "known issue" they replied "no". Like, WTF? There are Youtube movies about this. I cannot type an entire paragraph of text without have to go back and correct a few double typos.

The single biggest concern I had upgrading from my 2011 MBP to the 2018 model was all the talk of keybooard issues. And they are still struggling aparently. I have never understood why they can't roll back to the old keyboards. No one give a flying **** that it would increase the thickness of the laptop by a mm. We want stuff that works for 4000 bucks. Not fancy stuff that sometimes works.

Well, I'll add my voice to everyone here: a relatively difficult-to-find but vital little thread. This is most definitely a problem with the 2018 MBPs, including mine. It doesn't seem to be a "speck of dust" issue, because it's truly intermittent; I can fix one key only to have this happen on a completely different key, almost immediately. My "repeating e" became a "repeating a" once the "e" fixed itself, and right now it's working fine, but last night I was going insane with the repeats and mistypes. Turning off key repeat does help a little bit. But then you don't have key repeat. That's just ridiculous.

Why would we even bother taking these laptops in to be repaired and lose them for one to two weeks if we know that it is just going to happen again?

I actually wrote to this thread the other week, and something that I included got flagged by Apple and so my very gentle rant wasn't posted. I'm trying again, and reiterating that I haven't lost my love for Apple, I still feel that this computer is so much more pro than the other computers of a different make and model I tried out before I bought this one. I know I'm in the minority, but I really like the feel of these butterfly keys and love typing on them. But this is a problem. It's a big problem, and I think that for the majority of people voicing their woes here are more heartbroken than angry. We don't want to lose our faith in a company that we still feel is the best computing experience out there.

I have just had my top case replaced by Apple and hopefully that will resolve the issue for me but if it reappears, I will try this app. Has anyone else used it to confirm it works for them? If so, I would love to hear people's impressions and whether it ultimately worked for them.

I have this problem also.

It doesn't happen all the time, but enough to be annoying when I'm typing a long paragraph.

I had a 2016 MacBook Pro and had the Top Case replaced FOUR times before Apple gave me a new computer. This 2018 version doesn't have the same problem, but now it double-keypresses once in a while.

$5000 computer and it's the worst one I've ever had.

Update 2: Just been pushing the laptop hard with some code compiling and the issue is back - I think its something thats caused by heat ... booked in yet another Genius Bar appointment (number 7 since I bought this laptop), I think I'll have to send it away for 7-10 days :(

I have the same problem, but with MacBook Air 2018. It looks like the keyboard hasn't been fixed. The faulty key in my case is E. It causes 3 problems:

• sometimes it doesn't type at all
• sometimes it double-types, so pressing E types "ee"
• sometimes it types with a delay, so typing "apples" will type "applse"

It's unacceptable, this issue adds a lot of work and makes you need to read what you type carefully. Never had this problem on Air 2013.

I have the same problem with the 't' key on my new MacBook Air 2018. It starts about 1 week into using the computer too. The issue persists even after setting "Key Repeat" to Off and "Delay Unttil Repeat" to Long in Settings -> Keyboard.

I finally was able to reproduce this consistently and that fact makes me wonder whether its purely a hardware issue. I have an issue with the letter 'a' repeating constantly. If I tap 'a' and another letter (say 'u') at the same time and do this repeatedly, the issue appears (the 'a' and 'u' will appear twice or more at a time). It seems the letter appears once on the downpress and again when the key is lifted if another key is pressed along with it. So if you're a fast typist, you'll see the issue more if this analysis is correct.

@ChrisTTian667, here is thread for double spacebar issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8636454

Actually all this threads about one problem with MBP's keyboard and Apple doesn't want to help us.

@DPJ,

1. Confirm the issue
2. Stop offering to use condensed air to clean keyboard. It's ridiculous, nobody eats burgers over $3K laptop. This solution helped zero people. Same for reseting SMC - doesn't help.
3. Extend MacBook service program for 2018 MPBs (https://www.apple.com/support/keyboard-service-program-for-macbook-and-macbook-pro/)
4. If it's software issue - release an update
5. If it's hardware issue - solve this issue once and for all.

It's a keyboard, not a photon rocket.

I am using 2018 MacBook Pro 13 Inch and I have the same problem. I already repaired it once and after 2 month it reappeared again. I wish to get a refund for this laptop. I am not buying a Mac ever again.

I've got the same issue but with the 'e' key and the 'space' bar. I had a MacBook Pro 2016 15" until November, where Apple offered me a new 2018 MacBook Pro 15" of a similar spec because I had that keyboard repaired 3 times and the logic board replaced twice. Obviously I was over the moon and after opening it and testing it in the store, I realised the issue with the 'e' key but I thought it was me typing too quickly. I got AppleCare+ after 3 weeks and a week later started experiencing this issue severely with extra 'e' characters in my code and school work and random full stops in my sentences. Haven't gone to Apple yet but I'm planning a trip soon. I'll update this post when they tell me what's going on.

I have the problem with the E and the T key when my MacBook Pro i9 ($5000 baby!) heats up.

Apple support has been very helpful insofar as telling me to 'Reset the SMC'.

Hasn't helped, but worth a shot if you have a lot of free time.

Oddly Apple has taken down two of my posts for mentioning a YouTube video which discusses the problem. I wonder if they'll take down this post as well.
