M1 MacBook Air Keyboard Lightbleed right of 'F' key

[jpiszcz]

Seeing light bleed to the right of the 'F' key-- I baby the laptop, keep it in a protective thule case, etc..
My prior MacBook Air (2012) has had no issues it is just a bit slow.

Has anyone else seen similar issues with the keyboard on the M1 MacBook Air? The new M1 Air seems much more "delicate" than the old 2012 MacBook Air.

What you see is not out of the 'norm.' As long as the keyboard is functioning as it should, I wouldn't worry about it.

that F looks normal, i would worry about that red circle on the keyboard tho.

I have light shining through, too. Some say that's how the new keyboards are, some say no light should shine through...

It can certainly vary in degree between machines. I think it comes down to how much you want to play keyboard roulette, if you are still within the return window.

The question is, what are the odds? 🙃
