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

My MacBook Air is now out in service for 2 weeks, because of „short supply of elements”. Interesting, because Apple claimed the number of broken keyboards is so small, so how would you explain the shortage? I know dozens of prople with butterfly keyboards and 100% of these people had their keyboard replaced at least once.

No matter how good or bad laptop is. If such a basic element as the keyboard is bad, the product is bad. It slows down your work and makes your work error-prone.

I too . have argh there it goes, I get full stops between sentences sometimes, the space but doubles up sometimes, and it's the same with the e key and sometimes the p and t key.

I'm . getting haha there it goes again, I'm getting my mac swapped over tomorrow and HOPING the new one is fixed, but I likely wouldn't be surprised if the new one has it as well.

I'll keep you posted, I mean. You'd think by now they would have recalled the device's or pin pointed what / why it's with some models and not all of them. They really should have done a recall seems a LOT of people are having this issue.

Same problem. Getting ready to take it back in for the 3rd upper body replacement. Has been the 'r' key twice and now the 'o' key. Love everything about the thing except this. This is getting VERY annoying, and could prompt me to deal with a PC laptop again. This doesn't 'just work' ....

I got this exact same issue with the "s", "t" and "o" keys :-( Sometimes the keys don't register, and at other times they randomly repeat. How did you end up solving it?

My first ever 15" MBP 2018 ($2500) has the same issue with repeating "t". Support says to clean keyboard with air and reset SMC.

Hopefully. Mine worked for a few days, I got it replaced. Then, the replaced one got bad after several days again. Now I’m on my third keyboard.

I have this exact same problem-- not sure if i'm glad or not to see others having it-- means it will probably never get fixed-- apple will recommend a bunch of things that inconsistently work, other settings will need to be adjusted that then screw up additional processes, and we will be frustrated for quite some time...

Same issue heree. Mine doubles the E key, the t key, the a key and the b key. The whole keyboard is a joke for $2K+ It really makes me hate using this product everyday when I can't use it for typing...

Dirty Ankle, How long have you had your computer? Havee you brought yours into the eApple storee? If so, what did they teell you? I just keep returning exchanging faulty computers hoping one will work. What will it take for Apple to fix this issue? Theey will have to eextend their keeyboard program to 2018 models too.

yes some days it does most days it doesn't .... but yes it started just a week after purchase and stopped a week later after that. I just pray it doesn't come back on mine 😳😳.... I am a student and can't loose all my data with a replacement and also I have skins on mine

Just wanted to throw in to echo the issues/concerns here. I'm 14 days into a refurbed 2018 15" and having issues with my t key repeating. Some other keys have also had trouble, but t is the main offender.

I love everything about this laptop except for this issue, and it's killing me to think of returning it over such a simple, but utterly critical, issue. I need this machine for writing and coding. Spellcheck might save me half the time, but hunting for extra characters in code is a real deal-breaker.

I haven't attempted any of the fixes yet -- trying to decide if I should just take this back today -- but if/when I do I'll report back here.

I've had this issue too, with the R, T and I keys. It's almost impossible to get any work done, and this is after I bought the 2018 version to replace the problems with the keyboard on the 2017 one.

I am absolutely frustrated with Apple at this point.

Have you contacted Apple or brought your computer in? If so, what did they tell you? I think that some peoplee are just not reporting it and they need to. Apple needs to extend their keyboarrd repairr program to the 2018 models too. My 'e,t,r,' keys are repeating and now I sometimes get a random period thrown in the middle of a word when I use the 'e' key.

I just got a new 2018 15" MBPR from work. And yes, I am experiencing the same issue. It happens infrequently but when often enough for me to notice it. The 't' key sometimes repeats keystrokes.

Apple, I love the butterfly switch keyboard but its unreliability just makes me want to cry. This is my second MBP from work. The previous one (2017 15" MBP) had a faulty keyboard too.

See Trista40's reply .. I hope it works for you. Good luck ... But the keyboards shouldn't be defective in the first place. .. and of course I don't have one of those new MacBooks. Are you crazy? Why would I buy a $2,500 unreliable computer? I'm not that stupid :D
