Within a few hours of using my Late 2016 MacBook Pro 15” with Touch Bar, I noticed some of my keys made a very high pitched click on-key-up (when I lifted my finger from the pressed down key). The affected keys: Caps Lock, left Option, and very occasionally: Delete, ‘H’, and ‘C’.
Caps lock is...
As the heading says, is there any way to reduce sound from keyboard o new MacBook Pro? I just got mine, and I am driving everyone in the same room as me crazy because of the clicking sound...
Recently (was it when I first downloaded Sierra, I dunno, but around then), I'm having trouble typing with my US-International keyboard layout, which I've always used. I think the only issue I've noticed so far are the single quotes and double quotes. The behaviour is now different.
For e.g...
I just picked up my 2016 15" MacBook Pro from the Apple Store.
Here are a couple of things that are bugging my OCD/paranoia with new Apple computers:
- Not all of the keys on the keyboard have the same level of "clickyness". Some give a higher pitched and more snappy click. Some feel almost...
There seems to be a strange keyboard bug on my new 15" Touch Bar MacBook Pro. In the "Modifier Keys" panel within System Preferences > Keyboard (image attached), I have my Caps Lock key set to "No Action" (i.e. I disable my caps lock key). But on my new MBP, this setting resets randomly after a...
For people that are interested in the new MacBook Pro, but are wondering about the keyboard, I made a quick video comparing the sound to the older MacBook Pro, and also the Wireless keyboard.
I'm ordering a 13" tbMPB from Switzerland and this must be the only county in EU that doesn't have the International English keyboard option when placing an order online. It's either British or US.
I've searched all over the internet, and I am unable to find a picture of MBP with British...
It is not noticeable during regular use, but if I place my ear close to the keyboard or speakers of my MacBook Pro in a quiet room, I can hear some sort of electrical current sounding noise. Does anyone with the 15 or 13 inch tbMBP notice this? Any older models have this sound? I know that this...
OKay, so this might sound really stupid, but I was watching a movie on my MacBook in the dark and I have a cold. So I bought one of those nose sprays to air out my nose.. Point is when in the dark I was putting back the spray on the table next to me, one very small drop (more like a bubble...
So I'm now on my third Macbook 12" unit, and definitely loving them. However I've had repeated issues with sticky keys, in particular the space bar getting stuck and unreliable at the edges. I asked an Apple Genius for a full refund and they were reluctant. Instead he very strongly urged me to...
As soon as I started using this new MacBook Pro I felt something is weird with the keyboard. The shift keys do not feel as clicky as the rest of the keys. They feel a bit spongy as if something sticky is underneath them, and the click also sounds different.
Do any of you have this problem? I...
I was using my laptop last night, and this morning when I opened it, my keyboard and mouse were completely frozen. I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I restarted it and now the computer won't boot up. When I restart it, it goes to these black screens (seen below) and nothing works. It looks like a...
in the 'Mac accessories' section of the Apple refurb store (UK) do Apple ever sell anything but time capsules and AirPort Extreme boxes?
Ie a Apple full sized keyboard (I'm tight and want to pay less than £40 for one to replace my 'becoming a bit soft' 5 year old keyboard)
My 2016 15’’ MacBook Pro arrived yesterday (as one of the first). 63 of the 64 keys work fine. But the i-key most of the time types the letter twice. I suggest you test out your keyboard thoroughly. With auto-correct it can be easy to think it works. However, my password contains the letter i...
Is the rubber keyboard cover required anymore?
e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Kuzy-Keyboard-Silicone-MacBook-Display/dp/B005QT6F0E/
The way I see it, as the chiclet keyboard had the keys floating up from the base, the cover could be molded to fit the keys. Now, it seems as if the keys sit almost...
I have a MacBook Pro that I had a lot of trouble with. I could not get an operating system installed until I cloned the system in an exact same model. When I was trying to set up an OS I could not get the Option key to allow me to choose a boot device. It seemed to just be ignored. Now that a OS...
Hi everyone,
I have a MBPr that is approaching 3 years old. The A and D keys make plastic crackling noises when pressed. They even tend to hang up after being pressed (only briefly) and make a noise on the way back up. I assume the plastic mechanism under the key may be in need of a...
Surely battery life would become an issue with the potential for a wired version, or at least a thunderbolt connection option.
Do you think it will happen, why or why not?
Hi fellows, after the update my 2012 MBP has mysteriously remapped the right cmd to tab. I have Usb-Overdrive and Keyboard Maestro running, but they don't seem to be the cause of the problem. Keyboard>Function keys is also in default setting. Needless to say, reboot doesn't do anything. Any ideas?
Hi all,
After doing some typing on the new Macbook pro, i find the keyboard is still not to my liking.
However I do think it can be housebroken, by simply adding a flat layer of silicone on top of the keyboard. Here is why...
According to my girlfriend who is a physical therapist who deals...
