Spacebar double space (Macbook Pro 2018)

Same . problem. Two laptops . into this mess. No known fix other than to send the laptop back to my company's IT . department.

[Note: the extra periods above and in this . line . are naturally occurring due . to this . problem – seriously, I'm not faking this]

My company replaced my first MacBook Pro after the double space issue started a week after I got it. They didn't believe me at first, but then someone else came with the same issue later . that day. The issue started in my second MBP about a month after using it. It's mostly double spaces, but for some reason in this message, I'm getting . mostly extra periods. Have not figured out how to fix it. Would love some help Apple. I'll keep sending back laptops to IT in the meantime.

+1 on this issue too. A 15" 2018 MBP Touch Bar purchased in August 2018. Random double spacing started to occur three weeks ago while I was overseas. I thought the randomness of this issue suggests a software issue but apparently not according to this thread. My MBP is mission critical so the thought of being without it for any length of time is distressing. Should have kept my 2013 MBP as a back up - but shouldn't have needed to! Come on Apple, sort it out once-for-all.

UPDATE: On a couple (useless) YouTube videos regarding this issue one commenter suggested covering your spacebar with your mouth and SUCKING. Apparently it successfully dislodges debris causing the problem and people are hailing it a success - shutting dow now to try it.

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?

OMG, it does work!!! I have been so frustrated by this and tried blowing compressed air in, cleaning the keyboard, tapping the bottom of the computer, turning off "key repeat", even doing a hotkey fix that turned double spaces into single spaces. Who knew all you really needed to do was to suck on your keyboard - well, I turned to the vacuum. Which also seems to have worked. I'm happy either way!!

Same here. 13" 2018.

Same here. It makes work impossible. Every 3rd or 4th tapping results in a double-tap while typing. 13", 2018.

The same thing happened to me just a couple weeks after I got my mbpr 2018. After reaching support, they decided that they would not change the keyboard and gave me a brand new Macbook Pro.

no it doesn't. the keyboard sends a signal to the computer . What this software does is ignore those signals if they are too close to each other. it's a software fix to a hardware issue.

Worked for me, too.

Literally just ran my mouth along the space bar from left to right (top lip above top of space bar, bottom lip below space bar) and fixed it right up.

Unbelievable.
