Apple's Butterfly Keyboard Repair Program for MacBooks is Nearly Over

The problem lay not with the keyboard itself, but with its compatibility in certain user environments. This particular keyboard was susceptible to dirt and crumbs slipping under the keys, leading to malfunctions.

Sounds like a problem with the keyboard itself. Note how functional keyboard designs can cope with being in a human environment without seizing up.

"Apple discontinued the 2019 model of the 13-inch MacBook Pro in November 2020"

Nope, in june 2020. There was last intel 13 MBP with new keyboard before M1.

Kept me from buying a new MBP for six years.

This keyboard did not affect sales. Quite the opposite. 2016-2020 models sold better than the new series.

Maybe. But I had a mac with the butterfly keyboard, a keyboard cover on it, and don't eat at it since it's a work machine and I don't eat at my desk. And I still got a replacement keyboard.

Temperatures and dirt were problems. You could have it clean and they still wouldn't work because the temperature changed the properties of the plastic.

Great feature to have on a laptop that generates heat. Excellent design, no notes 👍

these laptops were designed for different processor operating temperatures. Intel promised Apple much more efficient low-voltage processors. this failed and Apple was left with preparing new types of laptops that did not thermally fit the processors.

Any update on when we’ll get this check from the class action lawsuit? It’s been a LONG time in waiting.

I know but a dollar's a dollar and $400 would go a long way for a broke youngin like me lol. It ruined a few weeks of college having to get it fixed 4 times.
