It's a new generation of the keyboard. Hopefully it turns out to be way more reliable.

  It would be a major achievement to make it less reliable. I have had computers for ~40 years now, and none had a keyboard as bad as the one I'm using now (MBP13, 2018).

It's really frustrating and I don't really want to go without my machine for the time it would take to fix. Unshaky has really helped in making my keyboard usable. It basically detects and eliminates duplicate keypresses within a configurable threshold for each key. https://unshaky.nestederror.com/ https://unshaky.nestederror.com/

  To me it’s absolutely insane that people have gone to the lengths of actually writing software in order to fix a very basic issue with an extremely expensive luxury product of the worlds largest company. One in this thread mentioned using tape to cover up the Touch Bar in order to avoid triggering it accidentally! Apple ducked up big time with the post-2015 generation MacBooks, and it was caused by the weird hunt for thinness and gimmicky features which nobody want from a professional portable workstation. "Thinner than a 2015 MacBook Pro" is last on most people’s wishlists. What good is a thin laptop if the keyboard fails and the performance you pay for can't be used since the operating temperature is too high? It says a lot about a company when a large amount of customers just don’t care for the new features and they just want the new performance in the old form factor. It’s like the ones who made the current generation never uses a laptop, and has no idea about how people are actually using the product.

They changed something in it and claim it’s fixed (yet again). We’ll see how it shakes out. But if you don’t like butterfly keyboards... yep, still butterfly even if it’s reliable now.
