The first lawsuit was filed in May 2018 on behalf of two people who’s MacBook Pro keyboards stopped working. Prior to Apple’s admission of the problem, three class action lawsuits relating to the keyboard issues have been filed against Apple. However, it seems that Apple has now given up on the butterfly keyboard design and will be returning to the older scissor mechanism design that predated the 2015 introduction of the troubled keyboards. That problem seem to occur when the MacBooks get hot, but some users have reported having issues at any temperature.

For example, some users have reported problems with keys making a high-pitched clicking noise when pressed. There have been other issues with the MacBook Pro keyboard that seem to be unrelated to the issue being addressed by the class action lawsuit. It is likely that you are being affected by the issue if one or more keys have stopped working on your 2015 or later MacBook, or 2016 or later MacBook Pro, or 2018 MacBook Air.

Then when Apple introduced the MacBook Air in October 2018 it was hoped that the keyboard issue would have been addressed, and yet complaints soon appeared relating to that laptop’s keyboard too. However, these measures were not enough to stop the problem from occurring, with complaints appearing in forums and websites claiming that even this third generation butterfly keyboard is afflicted by the issue.

iFixIt believed was intended to prevent dust and crumbs from getting stuck – the root of the issues with the keyboards. Although the company didn’t say that the changes related to that particular issue, when iFixIt did their teardown of the 2018 MacBook Pro they noticed that Apple has cocooned the butterfly switches in a thin, silicone barrier. First it tried to address the issue with the keyboard design when it introduced a new It seemed that Apple has been trying to fix the problem.
