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

"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?"

I am using Parallels, but there the problem persists. So that would narrow it down to a driver issue.

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.

"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.

What the heck is going on with this forum? I got email notification that their was another customer with same problems and a helpful tip/software that at least can prevent the double space issue. But when I open it, there is no new message. Is Apple or. someone else deleting all negative comments?

Speaking of this software. It prevents the double space issue. But since dealing with the defect keyboard for a couple of weeks. It now starts that the keys don't recognized at all. I don't think that the software is a long term solution. ;( I tried using the MBP with Windows for a couple of days, but it keeps happening. I can confirm that it happens more offen, when the system is on heavy load, which mine is like permanently. I also always have compressed air on my desk to clean the keyboard twice a day, which most of the time fix it for a couple of minutes.

Today I spotted in the news that Apple has acknowledged there are issues with the 3rd generation keyboards. So we may see some movement on this. Crossing my fingers that they'll be able to solve this soon.

Same problem here. 2018 15" MBP. After weeks of frustration I finally set up an appt with the local Apple store. Just not sure how long I can go without my only computer. Of course I'm frustrated by this problem, but I'm really shocked that it still exists after 3 years in on this design. I waited on the 2018 model thinking it would be fixed. Joke's on me, I guess.

In case anyone at Apple reads this (or cares) - I have no idea how many (if any) customers you actually lose from this problem, but it certainly creates immense frustration amongst those that have it. Based on what I'm reading, it appears that a replacement keyboard (or top case) won't fix the problem. It also appears that after 3 years there is still no fix. Unshaky helps the double problem, but there's no fix for when a key is missed. That's really unacceptable. Obviously one of (if not the) major reasons people purchase notebook computers is to be able to move them around. A functioning keyboard is a requirement. My machine, which cost well-over $2k, doesn't have one.

I'll leave this here for anyone curious about how I feel about this issue: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Implied_warranty#Fitness_for_a_particular_purpose

I found a perfect solution to my keyboard issue (t, r, e, p keys repeating): I bought a used 2015 MBP and sent the 2018 MBP in to repair. I just received it back, and now I’m selling it. With the new top case and battery it’s a good buy. I hope the next owner has more luck with it.

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.

Yes, it gets worse. Replaced my top case twice, going in for a third time as soon as I can spare 4 days without my laptop. This free app Unshaky does help a lot, gets rid of the issue 90%+ of the time. Google Unshaky, it's the first link.

I swapped my first one out (2018, 15", touch bar) after the space bar kept repeating about 2 weeks in. This one has been about a month. Started with the "e" then went to other letters. Apple said I'd have to send out and have the keyboard replaced, and that Apple knows about it. Really difficult as this is my work computer--tough to take a week off work for repeated things w new computers... But thanks for helping me realize I'm not crazy!

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.

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.

After epic amount of BS 4 months ago to get a 2018 MBP 15" 1Tb keyboard fully replaced, my brand new keyboard replacement failed again, so now I lose my computer for another week while they do ANOTHER full keyboard replacement on it. In 15 years of being dedicated power user, this is the most expensive apple laptop i've ever owned while simultaneously being the worst apple laptop i've ever owned

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.
