    Does anyone know how to fix my Macbook Air's keyboard?

    I just installed this game called Party Hard, but every time I try to play it, the keyboard controls won't work. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I've even downloaded other versions, but it still won't work. I've tried to connect a USB keyboard and clicking the game window, but I still...

    2017 or 2015 MacBook Pro, what would you do?

    Argh, so conflicted. I need a laptop. I've read so many threads I'm even more uncertain than when I began. Sorry for adding another one but I seek moral support. Or firm correction. A second opinion, and I trust this forum. I ordered a refurb 15" mid-2015 MBP, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB SSD from Apple...

    My MacBook Pro 2016 story (keyboard issues)

    Being a happy MBP owner since the very first generation, I bought the MacBook Pro 2016 (15" with Touch Bar) back in May. Immediately after unboxing I noticed issues with the spacebar that didn't register clicks uniformly — especially right side of the key was spongy and didn't behave...

    Hi I was never a Mac person until I saved up for a 2015 rMBP 13" with 16GB RAM 512 GB SSD and 2.9GHz i5 upgrades. I am a developer, author and digital artist and some of the tasks really pushed that machine. But was was impressed by the quality trackpad (pure joy), solid display, great...

    Google keyboard built-in ?

    I've been on Android for many, many years and for 2-3 years, have used "swipe" keyboarding input a lot. Since Apple's default keyboard has no support, I installed Google's keyboard for iOS. After installing it, you have to manually "Add New Keyboard..." and so on. Well, when I look in the...

    I have never used the Apple Smart Keyboard before and tried it today at the Apple store with the 10.5 iPad Pro. 1. Do you get used to the keys spacing over time? It was unusual/uncomfortable to type on the keyboard compared to other keyboards that I have used. 2. It is very expensive and I am...

    10.5" Logitech Slim Combo Keyboard vs Smart Keyboard

    Originally ordered the 10.5" Smart Keyboard as I had it on my 9.7" combined with a silicone back but after placing my order I saw the Logitech Combo this AM and decided to cancel and switch to that case. Detachable keyboard, shortcut keys, backlight, and multiple tilt angles. Seems like a no...

    2016 MBP nTB can't find Anker BT keyboard

    It can find and pair with the Apple wireless keyboard though, but not the Anker (A7226). Tried deleting the bluetooth file in preferences and byhost and resetting the bluetooth module. No luck. So I'm guessing the Anker is useless w/resp to the new MBP. Suggestions?

    Alternative USB 1.1 keyboards for G4, or repairing?

    The point, briefly: I got a 17" 1GHz iMac G4. I got that computer for writing, so having a usable keyboard is a necessity. I'm weighing my options – buying a used keyboard for a replacement isn't just gross as you'll have to do the cleaning work, but also, it's a hit and miss if some keys...
