Spacebar double space (Macbook Pro 2018)

Hi Apple Forum,


I've had my Macbook Pro 2018 since August and have been noticing an issue with the spacebar where I often type double spaces when I press the spacebar only once. Also, the spacebar is not registering sometimes in very specific spots. I have been typing with other keyboards and not been experiencing this issue.


I have seen that people suggest turning off key repeat settings which I have done fully but that doesn't seem to affect the space key for some reason. Is this is a software issue or hardware? It is very frustrating and I have seen other posts about it but very minimal support.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2018, 4 TBT3), macOS Mojave (10.14.1)

I've tried a tonne of things, including the Key Repeat and Delay keyboard settings. Then in frustration I just pressed down firmly on the space bar, running my finger along the whole length of the bar, still pressing firmly...and you'll notice I'm currently not experiencing any double spaces. Give it a go?
