MacBook Pro 2016 Keyboard problems

Hi,

I wanted to report on my keyboard problems with the MacBook Pro 2016 with the 2nd generation of butterfly keys. I have read some other reports on this and I seem to experience the same problems as other people. I usually would not write about this, because I know what the problem and solution is, but this time I got so annoyed, that I felt the need to write about this:

- inconsistent feel of keys: this is quite subjective, but I have to press differently on different keys and it makes typing very uncomfortable

- repeated key press: this is not an issue of the repeated key frequency setting in the preferences, this is only for the case when a key is pressed for a longer time. I really have some keys that I press once shortly, but somehow it is pressed twice. Most annoyingly it happens with the backspace or enter key, which can be very annoying while typing

- right shift key does not react anymore, when pressed slightly off center

I have read that dust and dirt can be a problem and that regular cleaning should help. I try this from time to time, but it only helps temporarily, but when I am travelling I don't have my tools and my can of compressed air with me, so I am stuck with this problem now.

I could also go into an Apple store (only in the next big town) and have them check it out and clean, but I would be without my laptop for hours or even days! Again while travelling for work, unacceptable!

Typing this post alone costs me some extra effort, just some example of the problems above:

- backspace getting issued twice while typing and correcting my tets (erased "x", although I just want to erase the letter after the x)

- Typing non-character keys, like "11!!!!!!111" -> I was hitting the "1" key, while pressing the right shift key, first at the edge, then moving towards the other edge!

I wished that Apple had designed the keyboard properly right away and I very disappointed with Apple

Cheers,

Duc
