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

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.

Same issue but with the e key. seems they are all in the same area on the keyboard: "e r t"

2018 13" here. (august ish, the one with quad core i5, so definitely the "after keyboard fix" model)

mine is a 15-inch MacBook Pro 560X GPU. I think you should go to the store and exchange it.

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

So, will it reepeat when the machine heeats up? I have been thinking that it has something to do with heat. Mine will do it when it's cold now. But with each machine it starts after about a week of using it and heating and cooling, makes me think that something heats up andd that has an impact on the keyboard. My repeating will come and go too, but it always comes back.

I hope that you back up your data daily or keep it in the cloud. Also, I justt saw this 13-inch MacBook Pro (non Touch Bar) Solid-State Drive Service Program - Apple Support

Some early 2018 MBP have a problem that could cause you to lose data - Click the link above and enter your serial number to see if your machine is part of the repair program.

I would really love to know if others brought their computers in for the repeating keys issue, and if so, what were you told?

Oh lord I thought I was going crazy. So the keyboard printing double letters is an issue, and it's not just me.

I'm using a max spec 13 inch MBP 2018, but honestly trying to work on this thing is almost impossible. I have to proof-read everything I write, and retype my sentences half the time.

My 'r' key is absolutely horrendous and my t key is pretty dodgy.

Just writing this I have had it happen once to r and twice to t. Tempted to leave the examples in here...

Am I going to have to take this back for the second time in a month or is there a fix coming, Apple?

The e key on a MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports) I am troubleshooting intermittently repeats (actual user is my colleague). I personally have had difficulty reproducing it, but I'm pretty sure it has happened to me 3 times now while exclusively using this computer over the last 2 days (I made myself a new user account). She actually had the same model previously and it was easily reproduce-able (every few normal presses). I contacted Apple Support, they said parts weren't available for service yet, so they exchanged it with the same model (came in sealed retail packaging). I really couldn't believe it when the user came back to me a few weeks later, telling me she was experiencing the same issue again.

I've reset the SMC, PRAM and booted in safe mode before creating a new user. Key itself feels fine, no obstruction, resistance or anything. Like I said above, the e key repeated for me maybe 3 times, but I really can't tell if it is a hardware issue, or I'm thinking about it too much. I will now use it for a day or so in her account (in her account as I type this).

But both her and I have used older Mac models for years, and have not experienced this type of behavior before. Obviously any keyboard on any type of computer can have issues, but it does seem like there is some issue with the current design.

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.
