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

I also bought a new MacBook Pro 15" , it is really amazing computer and its keyboard is quite enjoyable to touch. suddenly one day when i connect my printer to my computer it shows epson error code 0xe5 error. It is really strange for me i have not seen this type of error before and i have no idea about this error. After a lot of search i got a solution of this error from https://www.epsonsupport247.com/epson-printer-error-code-0xe5-solved/ websites. this website is really helpful to remove this error.

Well I guess I got the special edition version. Perhaps the one made for Tim Cook to use because my 2018 MBP 15" has a 100% perfect keyboard. I type daily as part of my work and never had one single key problem. 😊

I have macbook pro 13 (2018) started having the same issue with 'r' key.. really annoying. I just went thru all 9 pages of complaining. Isn't this good enough for Apple to say it's their issue and do something about it? I really want to like apple products and hope they don't treat this as small issue. it's not small issue especially for developers...

I just recommended one of my friends to buy macbook air 2018 but thinking of asking her to return since I don't want to get blame for recommending the laptop. This problem is not small issue at all. please do something about it.

I am experiencing a similar issue with my 13 inch 2018 MacBook Pro Touch Bar . The "o", "u", "e", "y", and backspace button will register that they are being pressed twice or not at all. It is really frustrating-- I am a student and rely heavily on my computer. I have contacted Apple Support and after troubleshooting recommended setting up an appointment with a local Apple Store. My main concern is the problem will happen again after it is "fixed." I am currently waiting for the next break in classes to take my computer in. I'm having to resort to using an external monitor, keyboard and mouse for my assignments and when in lab.

It's a "poor design" in your eyes. As I mentioned, my MacBook Pro is 100%, but it's obvious you're ignoring that. If you feel something is a "poor design" then please move on to a Windows machine. You sound like you have an attitude towards Apple. You're not the only one who is tied to their computer and can't simply leave. If you need to code then sell your MacBook and either get an old one or a Mac mini. The reason I'm a little frustrated at your post because you're not even asking for help. You're just ranting. It doesn't help anyone here. For example, you're already deciding something is a poor design and you're not even willing to believe that a replacement keyboard will take care of your problem, despite what I said to you about my MacBook Pro.

I don’t have an agenda against Apple. I own every apple product apart from the watch, HomePod and AirPods. I’ve had to have my MacBook Pro 2016 15” replaced for a new one to stop the problems I was having and I’m still having them. Clearly, just because you don’t have this issue, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Why else would this thread exist? Furthermore, my original post was informing others that I have a similar issue to the original question and that I’ll go to apple and see if it fixes the issue I’m having. I hope you can see that my frustration comes out of a previous product that apple admitted was faulty in the keyboard department and that I see it still in the modern apple laptops today. I’m not speaking on behalf of this discussion but I’m definitely not the only one frustrated with extra characters in their search bars.

I get your point. I understand that when there’s a bunch of people saying something is bad, it’s good to note that this doesn’t happen to everyone. So please know I am not responding to that part of your posts. I also fully understand the idea that we should get it fixed under warranty. I hope everyone is able to get their issues resolved that way! With that being said, I have gotten mine fixed under warranty 3 times and every keyboard they replace has the same issue. That can’t be an outlier. In regards to “just go get it fixed,” as one other post mentions, repairs make it so we are without a computer with our files on it for 1-3 weeks. As a student who cannot afford to have 2 computers, I simply cannot miss 1-3 weeks of my online classes, schoolwork, and work for my job every time this issue happens. It should not be an expected behavior to send your computer to Apple to repair for 1-3 weeks every 1-2 months (the space in between when these issues have arisen for me). I would also like to mention that most people who have this issue will not post on a forum about it, and the people who do check the forum will not post. Over 55,000 people have clicked the “Me Too” button, and that is only a fraction of people who could be experiencing this issue. Poor design does not mean it happens on ALL of the products shipped. It means it happens on ENOUGH of them to know that something is wrong. Please note that I respect everything you have said and understand where you’re coming from. But I also hope that you can see why people might be in the circumstances they are in that causes them to post on this forum. Take care!

I get what you're saying also, but some things to keep in mind. When you said 55,000 people clicked the Me Too button you have to take much of that with a grain of salt. Many people are not genuine or honest. Here's a good example of what happened to me today. I went on Reddit and someone said they were looking for a low budget computer that's only going to be used for basic MS Office and emails. I suggested to get an iPad. You can get them used for cheap. I got downvoted with rude replies from people that absolutely hate Apple. They hurled hateful comments at me for even suggesting Apple. That kind of behavior really makes social media look very bad. Obviously these are Windows fanatics who simply hate Apple. I was genuinely trying to address the OP's question.

I'm mentioning this because the 55,000 people that clicked Me Too are not necessarily people that have this issue with their MacBooks. It takes only one complaint thread to generate 100 replies siding with the OP against Apple. And those extra 100 replies are generally not Apple users. They look for any threads negative towards Apple. Please know this is a very real thing.

" I would also like to mention that most people who have this issue will not post on a forum about it,"

Yes, and there are also thousands more that don't post because they are not having issues. It goes both ways.

I'm not sure why Apple would take 1-3 weeks to repair your computer. I've been a Mac user exclusively for the past 20 years and even with today's outrageously busy Apple stores the genius has always quoted me 5-7 business days and they've come through. In fact I've never known Apple to take up to 3 weeks for a repair. That's unusual.

I absolutely respect your post and your concerns. Here's the issue I tend to have with forums. (which is the reason I left Macrumrors. The Apple troll central) People try their hardest to lay it on thick. If it was truly only the people like you who really have an issue then I would fully support it. There are lot of Apple haters who start up new accounts just to regurgitate someone else's issue about their Mac. One new member came here last week stating, "I recommended my friend a MacBook Air, but with Apple screwing up these horrible keyboards I will suggest them to return it so I won't get blamed". That was very frustrating to me because this member was trying to create a negative spin. How can anyone take that type of post seriously? There was nothing wrong with that member's friend's MacBook Air (if that story was even true). He just wanted to make Apple look bad for no reason.

There's also one more thing I would ask you to keep in mind. Apple is not a stupid company. Neither is Dell, HP, Lenovo or Microsoft. No company will purposely continue to sell their products that they know for a fact are constantly defective. It would cost the company a ridiculous amount of money repairing computers within the warranty.

While I definitely sympathize your situation of needing your computer, please understand you're not alone. I use my Macs to run my business. You're a student. Think how it feels when business owners like me can't run their business when their computers are in service. That's the life of tech. That's something we have to deal with.

I definitely hope you get your issue sorted out but social media has become a place for people to display hateful comments while hiding behind a computer. You never know how genuine people are. Thanks for listening.

"Its getting to the point where apple needs to admit the 2018 models (MBA & MPB) have similar issues..."

Why should Apple admit something that isn't affecting everyone? A few people on forums does not represent the rest of us. My 2018 MBP 15" has had no issues with the keyboard. I use it daily for my work which requires a great deal of typing. Anyone with a 2018 MBP is still under warranty, so how would that make any sense to make a public admission that will do nothing but cause a great deal of commotion on social media? Apple said one word "Courage" and Macrumors forum members never stopped making snide remarks about it. Due to how social media reacts companies have to help customers individually on a case by case basis.

Hopefully you're get your issue sorted out but it's not affecting everyone. Most people across forums represent less than 1/10th of a percent of Apple's customers.

If you don't have the issue, why do you keep commenting on this thread, repeating yourself? It's not helpful at all. Lucky you, you don't have the issue. But multiple thouthands do have the same issue. And not everyone which is experiencing the same issues are commenting on an Apple forums. So, we don't care about a working model of a fanboy. Instead we're a waiting for other customers that maybe come up with a suitable solution or at least helpful information. Because my Top of the Line MacBook Pro, which cost me more than 5000€ drives me totally crazy. The Apple Support told me, that if I really need the machine, I should have bought two... Should I laugh or cry? Competitors do definitivly a better job on professional support and service.

The other guy said, that the problem went away after installing Windows, so I'll try that at the weekend.

EDIT: I don't know why I even put the price of the computer in the post, except that I'm more frustrated given the price. It doesn't matter if it was $250 or $25k. I bought a notebook computer with a keyboard. The keyboard should work. It doesn't.

I'm having this problem too! It happens to me with the "r" key as well as the "t". Those may just be the ones I notice most and they are very common letters. I really would like this solved. This computer is pretty new for me, and way too expensive to be having such a silly issue.

"They really should have done a recall seems a LOT of people are having this issue. "

Absolutely ridiculous! No reason to do a recall just because something SEEMS to be affecting a LOT of people as you say. How about this? I have a 2018 MBP and I have zero issues with my keyboard. Just because you're having an issue and read up on forums seeing a group of people complaining doesn't warrant a recall and it certainly doesn't validate your claim that a LOT of people are having issues. I hope you realize that there are a great deal of people who don't even own the MacBook Pro and will exacerbate issues a few others are having simply to tarnish Apple's reputation? It does happen you know? I'm kinda tired of seeing posts like yours. It's usually a one-liner. As soon as one of the more prominent members questions the complainer's concerns these types of posters never return or respond. It ends up being just a one-liner which makes me feel suspect about apparent agendas here.

I guess? It's only been 2 days since the service program was posted. I didn't see it mentioned in this thread, and the only reason I found out about it is because I decided to do another search on it aftter I got so annoyed while writing a paper.
