    Shift key feels spongy on Butterfly 2 keyboard

    As soon as I started using this new MacBook Pro I felt something is weird with the keyboard. The shift keys do not feel as clicky as the rest of the keys. They feel a bit spongy as if something sticky is underneath them, and the click also sounds different. Do any of you have this problem? I...

    Keyboard and Mouse not working

    I was using my laptop last night, and this morning when I opened it, my keyboard and mouse were completely frozen. I wasn't sure what was wrong, so I restarted it and now the computer won't boot up. When I restart it, it goes to these black screens (seen below) and nothing works. It looks like a...

    Apple wired keyboard ever on refurb store?

    in the 'Mac accessories' section of the Apple refurb store (UK) do Apple ever sell anything but time capsules and AirPort Extreme boxes? Ie a Apple full sized keyboard (I'm tight and want to pay less than £40 for one to replace my 'becoming a bit soft' 5 year old keyboard)

    MacBook Pro 2016 Keyboard Failure

    My 2016 15’’ MacBook Pro arrived yesterday (as one of the first). 63 of the 64 keys work fine. But the i-key most of the time types the letter twice. I suggest you test out your keyboard thoroughly. With auto-correct it can be easy to think it works. However, my password contains the letter i...

    Silicone cover for new MBP keyboard

    Is the rubber keyboard cover required anymore? e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Kuzy-Keyboard-Silicone-MacBook-Display/dp/B005QT6F0E/ The way I see it, as the chiclet keyboard had the keys floating up from the base, the cover could be molded to fit the keys. Now, it seems as if the keys sit almost...

    MacBook Pro Keyboard Problem

    I have a MacBook Pro that I had a lot of trouble with. I could not get an operating system installed until I cloned the system in an exact same model. When I was trying to set up an OS I could not get the Option key to allow me to choose a boot device. It seemed to just be ignored. Now that a OS...

    2014 MBPr - some keys are making annoying crackling sounds when pressed

    Hi everyone, I have a MBPr that is approaching 3 years old. The A and D keys make plastic crackling noises when pressed. They even tend to hang up after being pressed (only briefly) and make a noise on the way back up. I assume the plastic mechanism under the key may be in need of a...

    Do you think Apple will make an external keyboard with atouch bar?

    Surely battery life would become an issue with the potential for a wired version, or at least a thunderbolt connection option. Do you think it will happen, why or why not?

    Right cmd remapped to tab after Sierra update.

    Hi fellows, after the update my 2012 MBP has mysteriously remapped the right cmd to tab. I have Usb-Overdrive and Keyboard Maestro running, but they don't seem to be the cause of the problem. Keyboard>Function keys is also in default setting. Needless to say, reboot doesn't do anything. Any ideas?

    Touch Bar coming to iMacs?

    It's interesting that communication with the Touch Bar is via USB. It seems to me that that would allow for an external keyboard to have a Touch Bar. (A wired one, anyway. Maybe even wireless.) I wonder if something like this is coming to iMacs in the future. Might also be nice for MacMini and...

    Removing butterfly clip from rMB

    Does anyone know how to remove the butterfly mechanism clip from the rMB keyboard? My ESC key cap popped off and broke a clip on the mechanism and so I need to replace it. If I go to the Apple Store would they replace it for free?

    Keyboard/Trackpad locking?

    So just about 10 minutes ago from this thread, my keyboard and trackpad decided to lock up on me. I don't know how it happened, I was just browsing the internet, but it happened. Everything else was working, I used a wired mouse to move around, with minimal success as the keyboard is the main...

The keyboard mapping is off, e.g. he cannot use his shift key (characters are always lower case even upon pressing shift key first). We've tried using Parallels and Microsoft's RD Client...

    Macbook 12, keyboard replacement

    Greetings, As many of you know, keyboards on rMB12 get stuck or stop working at all. My rMB12 is on Apple Care, so I can have my replacement for free. That's not an issue. But there are some of you who had their keyboards already replaced, so I have a simple question for you guys. Does Apple...

    Fn + Delete hotkey changed?

    So you know this "secret" and almost not used shortcut to "delete" instead of backspace while on a text editor? The Fn+Delete keys would delete words from left to right instead of the other way around with the single delete key. For me it was really useful as "Delete" is missing on my keyboard...

    How can I reliably type the letters ő and ű in OS X?

    I often switch between English and Hungarian while typing, and it would be inconvenient to swap keyboard layouts mid-sentence as many the keys are in different places and I can't memorize them all. I realize that OS X has the "press-and-hold" special character feature, but this feature doesn't...
