New Macbook Pro: An Improved Keyboard Is Not Protected From Failures

Even with the introduction of new models Macbook Pro, Apple does not have problems with the butterfly keyboard under control. Despite the new keyboard, it can happen that the key bouncers, so that the characters are written twice. Conversely, a typing is sometimes not recognized and the letter in question is not written. The new generation of the butterfly keyboard should be quieter than the variants of old Apple laptops.

Apple has confirmed to CNet that the new generation of butterfly keyboards is still not there. sheltered from such failures. However, the company pointed out that so far only a few customers have been affected, which is also the case with the new models. However, he is currently unknown who bears the costs when the keyboard goes on strike. Apple does not yet use the patent to effectively bypbad such problems in the new Macbook Pro models.

Just a month ago, Apple acknowledged that keyboards Macbook and Macbook Pro models were faulty and could have started a free exchange program. Apple responded after several months to complaints from customers who had problems with keyboards again and again.

Problems in Daily Use

One or more keys could have "a resistance to pressure too high" or "hang after striking" . In general, it is possible that all buttons "respond unequally" Apple describes the problems. According to the manufacturer, this only concerns a small percentage of the keyboards of some Macbook and Macbook Pro models. Nevertheless, Apple has opted for a free exchange. Recently, several attempts have been made in the United States to file clbad action lawsuits against Apple for keyboard failure.

In 2015, Apple introduced a new keyboard mechanism called Butterfly, used on Macbooks and Macbooks Pro. Previously, Apple had mostly used a scissor mechanism on the keyboards of laptops. The butterfly mechanism has a very small key stroke. As a result, the keys do not tilt, even if their edges are touched. With the little key shot, Apple wanted to be able to build the very thin notebook.

The little touch, however, allows even the smallest crumbs of the keyboard to interfere. This causes the keyboards to make a jarring sound when typing. However, they can also fail or accidentally enter characters into characters several times.

Some keys can not be exchanged one by one

Customers can repair the keypad for free at Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. go. Meanwhile, however, it is known that Apple can not always repair Macbook keys individually, but must replace the entire keyboard. As soon as the keycap, such as the spacebar, is deleted, the key itself becomes unusable. The spacebar is by far the most used, so there is a high risk of breakage.

It's unclear whether Apple is extending the MacBook Pro and Macbook Pro free keyboard repair program to the new model.
