My check arrived yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised that it was $395. I did submit for a few MacBooks with documented keyboard issues, so I guess that's why. Curious what everyone else's compensation was . . .

Same here- $395 check arrived yesterday.

I also submitted for two- in both instances Apple replaced the entire lower of them at no cost. Can't recall if both were eligible (sold the 2017 i7 16/512 long ago when it was still worth close to $1k... more than I paid for it, sniped off eBay).

I still use the 2015 m3 16/512 (refurb purchased direct from Apple) for LR 6.14 image viewing and occasional minor mods when out and about or traveling.

Glad you got your dough! Am a little surprised that more people haven't chimed in -- Apple did make you jump through a fair number of hoops to apply for the payout, so maybe not that many people applied

$125. And the MacBook 12 (2015) didn't even belong to me, as I was lent it brand new. Apple did replace the keyboard once though. I returned the MacBook to its owner maybe about 2 years ago, who never used it, and it was junked.

I'm still using mine most of the time running Mojave to check out photos in LR 6.14 "perpetual" when I'm away from home.

Also has Boot Camp installed so I can run a cut-down Windows 10 image. Use that to run proprietary software needed on rare occasions. Things like: network crypto, security and other assorted infrastructure devices, plus make config backups, and tftp firmware update images via out of band management ports.

It remains an ideal 2 lb computer!
