    Keyboard marks on the display

    Hi all! I have a question. I've bought my first ever Macbook in January. Everything been doing great, but today I saw keyboard marks on the screen. It is a laptop for work, so I'm not carrying it around much. Why did this happen? Is this factory defect? It's a very expensive machine and I care...

    Duplicating custom macOS Keyboard Shortcuts

    Hi - Is there a way to copy custom keyboard shortcuts in macOS to another Mac? I have quite a few I've built and I'd love to copy them easily, but all I can find is that these shortcuts live in the .plist files (some are system, others are in the application's .plist file). Thanks in advance...

    2018 13" MBP backlit keyboard bleed

    Just got this laptop 2 days ago.. my first Mac and noticed there is a defect in the backlighting of the spacebar.. the silicone membrane is making the light bleed unevenly. It's noticeable and now my OCD won't let me stop seeing it. Looks like shoddy craftsmanship and the reason I bought this...

    K480-like alternative for 11” iPad Pro

    I’ve got a K480 that is great for typing on my iPad at home, while also quickly switching between my Apple TV or phone. The problem is the divot for holding the iPad doesn’t really fit the 11” iPad Pro and the iPad easily falls out. Anyone else know of an alternative that will hold the iPad...

    Stuck Key

    5 months after the top case replacement the backspace started getting stuck. After hitting hard a few times it gets working again. Is there any chance of it getting fixed by itself? Or is it doomed to completely fail?

    I have #MacBookFear

    I'm well overdue for a new laptop, but sheez, with the recent MacBook Pro keyboards and displays that both seem likely to fail and are ridiculously expensive to have repaired out of warrantee, I'm afraid to buy any recent model. A comparable Dell XPS 15, say, with what seems like an even better...

    MBP Keyboard Not Working At All

    Hey MacRumors Peeps! I've been searching for someone who's had a similar issue on the internet, and I'm not finding much. Probably because of so many other keyboard issues with these MBP's. Anyway, mine seems to be different. I booted up my 2016 15" MBP w/ TB yesterday morning to find that the...

    Keyboard Issue

    I've recently bought a Macbook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Four Thunderbolt 3 Ports). Out of nowhere, the letter "B" on my keyboard stopped working. Sometimes, if I have the keyboard viewer on, it'd work after pressing it for more than one time. Sometimes, it doesn't. I'm still not 100% if the issue is...

    IOS Keyboard as trackpad to insert text

    I just learned that if you deep-press on the #IOS keyboard space bar, the keyboard works like a trackpad, so you can insert text without using your finger on the screen. Apparently, works on any iPhone or iPad with 3D Touch. (So, not the iPhone XR, apparently.) Solves #1 thing I hated about IOS...
