    How much was your butterfly keyboard settlement check?

    My check arrived yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was $395. I did submit for a few MacBooks with documented keyboard issues, so I guess that's why. Curious what everyone else's compensation was . . .

    Butterfly keyboard again...

    My third replacement MacBook Pro 13" 2018 butterfly keyboard has just started malfunctioning. The 'n' key won't register any presses. Unhelpfully, 'n' is in my login password. The most basic thing I need from a laptop is to be able to type. I use this thing day in, day out for work and...

    Using Your Butterfly Keyboard after the 4 year guarantee?

    I have had two keyboard replacements over the 3 years that I've owned my 2017 MacBook Pro, and now I need to decide whether I should keep this thing and risk it breaking again, or sell it off and let someone else run that risk. How many of you are deciding to 'stick with' your butterfly...

    I have a late 2017 13" MBP. Today the trackpad and the keyboard stopped working at the same time. The only thing that works is the power button (and the touchbar). Nothing happened prior to the incident so I don't know why the hell they stopped working all of a sudden. But I've noticed one...

    Future MBP Keyboard Predictions?

    I personally still own a 2008, 2012, and 2015 15" MBP. I refuse to purchase a 2016-2018 for obvious reasons but of course have typed on them. When you look at their keyboards chronologically, you can see the action (height/ key press travel) slowly getting lower and lower. In addition to...
