It seems very much like a usage issue. My friends that take their macbooks to the coffee shop, traveling, use it on the train, etc. all have had keyboard issues.
I work from home with an external keyboard and monitor and honestly might as well have a desktop for all the MBP leaves my room (and ancedatally) others with a similar usage pattern aren't having the issues.
- iEchoic 8y agoYeah, this is what it has been in our experience as well. They seem to fail pretty predictably after a lot of heavy usage, but many laptops don't reach that.
- arcticfox 8y agoRight, the people that are using their notebook keyboards end up with issues and those that don't...don't
- EpicEng 8y agoSo people who actually use the keyboard tend to have more issues with said keyboard. Shocking.
- toyg 8y agoI actually use it very very rarely, and still my B key is borked. Believe me, these keyboards are just terrible.
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoWhile this is incredibly anecdotal (e.g., a sample of one), I use my "MacBook Escape" (the non-touchbar 13") at home and in coffee shops and have not had a problem. I've also had two touchbar MBPs at two different jobs and so far have had no issues, although they tend to remain closed except for meetings.
- tptacek 8y agoWe use Escapes almost exclusively, and all of them have failed. Mine failed 3 times; in protest, I haven't taken it in for a 3rd repair, but rather switched back to a '15-15".
- chipotle_coyote 8y agoYikes. I may have just been lucky with mine, then. (I'd pretend I've just been extremely careful, but that is totally not true.)
- sitkack 8y agoDo you think it is the coffee shop usage that keeps it problem free?
