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

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.

I did exactly that. Apple claimed there was no issue they could detect but said they would replace the keyboard regardless. I am on my second keyboard with the same issue. It's not as simple as dropping the laptop off and picking it up. They wiped the hard disk and I had to restore. It was a time suck not to mention being without a laptop for a week. Without the guarantee of a fix I don't want to go through the same prrocess again.

I'm having this issue too.

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?

After doing a lot of typing today on Windows (I only use it for small things usually), the issue does still persist, but happens far less frequently than MacOS.

Within MacOS, from my experience, it happens far more frequently when the system is under a lot of load.

It's three times I have had my top case replaced. Still same issue. "rr" "tt" and also "." when I want a space. It seems Apple will keep replacing top case for the time the warranty legally obliged to do that. Then what? This is my work computer and I cannot afford 1) going to an apple store once and then and 2) not having my working tool for 3-4 days. First replaced in Christmas, we are in April and I need to go back to the apple store for a new temporary solution. Sorry guys but this is not acceptable. You can find devices 1/3 the cost of a MB Pro. I accept there may be issues with some batches, but after one fix, solution must be permanent. Reliability in the brand is very low on my side now.
