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

i'm having the same issue with the "t" key repeating a lot. driving me crazy. i thought the ****** new macbook keyboards were fixed for the 2018 mbp's but i guess nott. here begins yet another round of trying to get supportt on an issue for somethting that was perfectted in the 2015 mbp and then ruined in the subsequent products

I bought the 13' Macbook Pro 2018 with touchbar and I am having the same issue here.

My 'RR' keys and 'I' keys will either appear twice or not rergistered at all. I bought this in September and I am facing this issue since early October.

I'm having this issue with my 'd' key. Are there any updates, at all? I'm on my i9, 32 GB ram! I also put a keyboard protector on my keyboard as my sister had this issue previously, but it seems to be something wrong with the keyboard itself.

Sample:

d d d d dd d d d d d d d d d d d dd dd d dd d d d d d d d dd dd d d d ddd d d d dd d d dd d d d ddd d d d d d ddd dd dd d d

Same issue.

That is a really bad experience. The MacBook Pro 2018 15" only use 1 month and have this issue.

I can't believe in 2018 Apple provide how good quality as this for the world.

@tcook please figure out this issue.

yep! took mine into apple store for repair and they confirmed the brand new 2018 MBP keyboard not working. good news they're giving me an entire 'upper case repair' including keyboard but the **** news is they said it takes TEN DAYS to repair. This is my only machine (paid over 5K for it) and now they say it takes 10 days to fix and they have no loaner machines available. I'm not sure how many other small businesses can go 10 days without their main source of work/income, but this is justt insult to injury. Apple please admit this keyboard is a lemon and it wasn't designed for use by real humans. Every time Apple makes me go through this, I am going to just buy a replacement and keep returning it within the return window until they get my garbage keyboard fixed. If Apple doesn't mind putting me through this sub-par product (compared to past MBPs) than why should I mind making apple feel the pain too?

PLEASE BRING BACK THE KEYBOARD FROM THE 2015 MBP. I'm a pro user and everyone I work with are pro users and none of us give a **** about making the laptop 10mm thinner, we just want something that WORKS. Also this keyboard is uncomfortable on the hands, and taking away the arrow key "upside down T" was a bad move from IXD pov because now your fingers don't know exactly where they are. I'm always guessing at keys these days and I hate it (don't get me started on the ixd issues with the touchbar). With thtits keyboard – aside the key repeattting issue (maybe you've picked up that my bad key is "t") – the keys get depressed even by gently resting fingers/hands on the keyboard, and always having to hover my hands/fingers is really uncomfortable. Thtis keyboard is a marvel of engineering, but not designed for real humans. Stop listening to your marketing people and start listening to your customers and interaction designers.

I'm on my 2nd 2018 13" MBP with TouchBar. Mine does double spaces and extra 't's and 'o's. Soooo frusttttrattting ! The 1st one (purchased in August) I brought to Apple store in October to address the issue, and they gave me a brand new laptop. The keyboard was okay up until a week ago. I took this 2nd laptop to another Apple store and they said it is indeed an issue that Apple has admitted to be ongoing and that it is an internal issue under the keyboard, so they will replace the keyboard and top case.

Apple will change the keyboard as soon as arrives, January 3rd. (I'm in Italy) I think it's the only way and as I post it the program exists for the problem.

So, I solved the probblem. (will have only one "b" in a few days..)

I've got the same problem on my August purchased 2018 15" MBP but at the moment it's only with my E key.

It's been happening on and off for a few weeks but not very often, just enough to make me wonder if I'm going crazy. But this week it's been happening a lot - usually I get a double E wheen (yes just like that) I press the key but sometimes I'll get the E I typed, then the following character and a random E after. It's happening a lot now and is getting worse by the day.

Guess I'll get it checked out next week but I'm not sure whether I really want to keep this thing moving forward. I can't be bothered to have to get it fixed/replaced every few months, or even less than that going by some of the replies in this thread.

Even just typing this out I've had the ee problem happen 6 times. It's just frustrating.

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.

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 ;)

Same issues on my 2018 MBP 13" quad core i5 with touch bar. Very annoying as the device was not cheap at all. In addition there is no pickup and return service here in Austria and if you go to the apple shop they send you back home if you don't have an appointment with them (happened to me). Unfortunately I just bought Apple Care Protection Plan two weeks ago. Yesterday I finally went to a certified apple reseller and let my Macbook there for getting it fixed. Now I have to wait 14 (!) working days and need to pick up the device there again by myself.

I will sell the Macbook right after repairing. The quality and the (effective) service is very bad. I am done with this super NLP-trained service employees who understands EVERYTHING but can help nothing at the end of the day. Thank you Apple for my lost money, time and frustration.

The only thing I will really miss is the touchpad I guess.

I noticed the same thing with my 'w' key today. It's annoying especially when I play games since 'w' is bound to move forward and you get stuck sometimes and have to press the key multiple times. I tried to press 'w' button while typing multiple times and from time to time I get those double 'w' letters by pressing the letter only once. I thought I was lucky not to get any keyboard problems... I was wrong.

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!

Macbook Pro´s running OK are awesome but you can´t do a pre-production of 3000$+ laptops and don´t test them before u get them out. If not, then that says that Apple is becoming like the rest of companies, selling products without checking them ok.

Now I´ve been 2 days without these errors and sometimes it comes back with "o", "a" or "e" key mainly.

Any of you with this error in Macbook Pro 15' 2018 laptops?

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.
