So I've been reading HN for almost 10 years now and nothing frustrated me this much to post a comment. 2017 MB Pro keyboard is a damn nightmare.
By introducing Apple keyboard service program for MBPro2017 they acknowledged the keyboard is broken by design.
I happened to spill a little bit of coffee on it, but MB did no care, it was working fine, up until the point I started losing keys because of the weak micro hinges they have on the keys and flawed design.
Apple said they cannot fix it because of the coffee drops they found, even though it's flawed by design.
I paid 3000USD for a laptop with 2 USBC ports and a freakin useless keyboard.
That's the reason I didn't buy an iPhone now, and won't be buying any new Apple hardware no more - EVER.
One more out of the apple train.
- _the_inflator 7y agoAlmost ironic. You have arguably the best case, best display, best OS: however it is the plastic keyboard... I am currently scheduling an appointment with my MacBook Air 2018 (Apple keyboard exchange program). It takes - as the Apple shop yesterday stated - 3 to 12 days to exchange the keyboard. 3 to 12 days!
