Are the rMacBooks not affected?
Previous thread had 18 out of 48 with problems. That would be significant if was carried over to mass sampling.THIS thread is ridiculous. This is a perfect example of how overblown this issue is. There is less than 10 people commenting on this one and that's including the 2 moderators. I'm starting to think it comes down to user error.
queen6 - never owned a MacBook Pro 2016. complaining about a flawed design he knows nothing about.
Go back to "stain-gate" and there are hundreds and hundreds of people complaining about that WITH actual video and photo proof that it was happening. That is why apple did something about it.
Look at this issue, there are very few threads and the majority all have the same issue, repeat keys. Yet, in all of these threads they always take it to the Genius Bar and *gasP* what a surpriise, they cannot replicate the issue, yet they get their keyboard replaced anyways, and *surprise* they still think it's broken. The fact that this is the only thing people are complaining about on the new MacBook Pro is quite amazing, considering that the older MacBook pros had much more serious issues especially when getting repaired. (these are the kind of users who don't know there is a setting of *KEY REPEAT* in macOS)
I have yet to see someone actually provide any kind of proof that they got their MacBook Pro keyboard replaced 4-5 times and each time it was broken. This just doesn't make any sense at all, as it would qualify as a lemon for sure. Yet, here we are, people complaining again and again with no expertise.
The butterfly keyboard is shallow and most users are unwittingly double typing. Look at the different youtube videos on this issue online.
But doesn't the lack of travel drive you crazy?as a 2017 macbook pro user i have had no issues with my keyboard. Has been flawless I must say.

Did you use a keyboard cover? Just curious...I vote for heat since I keep it really clean and the problem reoccurred soon after top case was replaced. I also use the laptop under heavier than most by gaming. "b" key that had issues is not used more than others, much less than AWSD keys that were used a lot.
No. I'm guessing the contracting and expansion from cold/heat causes some parts to fail.Did you use a keyboard cover? Just curious...
no need to, mine works flawlessly and I do a lot of cpu demanding taks (heat wise)Well shoot, mine has worked flawlessly. Now you guys are making me paranoid. Lol
Just registered to provide my feedback.
I purchased a 15' TouchBar MacBook Pro at launch, my keyboard worked flawlessly until February 27th. Now keys are double clicking, or not registering out of nowhere. Unfortunately, I didn't purchase AppleCare.
Trying to figure out what to do.
Could you share what you think caused this...Just registered to provide my feedback.

I wonder if it could be the GPU instead of CPU issue. I have the Radeon 460.no need to, mine works flawlessly and I do a lot of cpu demanding taks (heat wise)
One time my top case replacement was quoted $700, another time it was $300, not sure why there's a discrepancy.My credit card covers out of warranty repairs up to $500 for 2 years. Maybe Apple will lower the cost of repair to $500?
I don’t recall this happening without some extremely bad publicity.My credit card covers out of warranty repairs up to $500 for 2 years. Maybe Apple will lower the cost of repair to $500?
Repairs seem to have become more costly as Apple move to ever more integrated thinner designs and larger sections or device swap-outs have become the norm for their repair process. To be fair, part of this is due to the designs of the hardware themselves and part of it seems to be a solution for providing in house care to an increasing number of customers... but I digress.

From a completely different perspective though - why would a perfectly well-designed keyboard even require a cover in most circumstances?
