    MacBook Pro 14" keyboard durability

    It's two days I am using my new MacBook Pro 14". It's great! But today, roughly 48 hours after unboxing it, I've noticed some of the key buttons have started to wear off. One has like a dent on it on its side. Another has a little mark on its angle. How is it possible that this machine is...

    USB Keyboard - Connecting

    I have two Apple A1243 low profile with numpad keyboards. One of them connects no matter which usb port it plugs into. The other one will not connect using the usb ports on the front of the mac, but connects via usb ports in the back. Can you think of an explanation for this?

    Hello, I've owned a MacBook Pro 13" M1 for maybe 6 - 8 months. I use it quite regularly because I type a lot. Most of my keys got shiny with oil from my fingers, so I bought a bottle of iKlear to remove it. For most of the keys, the iKlear worked very quickly. For an area of my spacebar where...

    New MacPro 14 inch Keyboard Issue

    I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue and/or if this is normal. In addition to having the keyboard backlight issue that appears to be common, where some keys have some light leakage from the bottom in an uneven way, I'm also having an issue where some keys click or sound...

    MBP 14" Keyboard has some rattle, keys feel less firm and more loose. Anybody else?

    I love my new MBP, but the keys feel like they rattle once fully depressed. Instead of getting a thump when I press a key like I did on my last two Macbook's I get a slight rattle. The space bar, enter and backspace keys are the worst for this, however most other keys feels great. Anybody else...

    Any other IBM Model M/Unicomp keyboard users here?

    Just purchased a Unicomp Model M replica and absolutely love typing on it. I’ve always used the cheapest keyboard I could find in the past and I’m glad I went for it. Was curious if they are popular in the Mac community most users seem to be on Linux I've met.

    Keyboard lag?

    Has anyone had this? Same thing happened with my iPhone XS although much worse. Was also noticeable on iOS 14. I now have an iPhone 13 with a clean install and still see this but not as much. Mostly in Safari with a few tabs open or Amazon app. Thinking this a memory management issue? I have...

    M1 MacBook Air Keyboard Uniformity

    I am curious to see what other people's experiences have been like with their M1 MacBook Airs. Does your keyboard have keys that are all uniform in feel/stability (other than the spacebar) or do you have some keys that are looser than the others?
