    Macbook pro: Fixing loose/wobbly keycaps

    It's not a well-known issue, but there have been a few reports of macbook pros (2010 - 2015) having loose or wobbly keycaps. Now this isn't something you would really notice unless it bothered you (especially since you would acclimate to it over time), but since I couldn't find any information...

    Dead Apple A1016 Bluetooth Keyboard. Is there a way to revive it?

    The title might be a bit misleading, but let me explain. Two months ago, a friend of mine gave me an Apple A1016 keyboard, that he got for 5€. I couldn't pair it with anything at first, but I soon found out that I have to type in a "secret" PIN (0000 in my case), before I enter the pairing...

    So I'm trying to get a clear understanding of which Apple laptops have the scissor-switch keyboard mechanisms vs the butterfly ones.

    Logitech MX Mechanical Tactile Quiet vs. Linear

    I'm trying to decide between the Tactile Quiet and Linear switches on the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboard. About half-way down the page, you can click on buttons to hear the noise the keys make.

    Resolved Swapped working keyboard, now new keyboard not working (also a surprise!)

    Hi hope all are well! This is actually an interesting one. Picked up this project with my Dad for...pretty much just a fun mod project. A matte black macbook just sounded badass to me. This began before the announcement of the midnight Macbook. The plan was to separate the keyboard from the...

    Macbook Pro (mid 2014) keyboard problem

    Hi, I’ve just bought a mid-2014 MacBook pro with non-working touchpad. Only the clicks are working at the bottom of the trackpad but it’s ok because I prefer mouse. But the main problem is the built-in keyboard. When I start typing, it freezes or disconnect for a sec in every 4-5 sec...
