this has been happening for more than six months. earlier in the laptop's life time, I could get these problems to go away. now I cannot.
- themagician 8y agoSpray the keys down with compressed air. You should notice a good amount of stuff actually accumulates in there.
- driverdan 8y agoIt doesn't make a difference for the newer keyboard style. The space between the keycap and the board is so small that it's very hard to blow anything out.
- themagician 8y agoUh, yes it does. It makes a huge difference. Your screen will be covered in white stuff as dust and dead skin gets blown out of the keys. Try it.
- driverdan 8y agoI've tried it multiple times. It didn't fix any of the keys I have issues with.
- tigershark 8y agoI never, ever, had to spray a laptop keyboard to make it work again in more than 20 years...
- themagician 8y agoWell, with this one you do.
- slackfan 8y agoSseems like horrible ddesign.
- themagician 8y agoIt iss.
- licyeus 8y agoSpraying with compressed air as instructed fixed my 2018 model's E key temporarily, yet lodged debris under my space bar, causing the right side to lose all clickiness. No amount of compressed air could get it to work again, so I brought it in and Apple replaced the keyboard (free under Applecare, otherwise $290). I don't trust that it won't break again, so I switched to Linux on a Thinkpad (and all the hassle that entails) after 14 years of using Apple laptops.
- n42 8y ago10 years of Apple laptops, now on a Thinkpad with Linux (still have the above MBP at work, will be switching to Thinkpad on next device refresh)
