The problem is that you’re getting dust, food etc. behind the keys.

The solution is to use a keyboard cover. It also helps with noise as well.



Seriously, “You’re holding it wrong” all over again? The problem didn’t exist in the previous generation macs. Keyboardgate yet again.


Is this the “you're holding it wrong” argument?


I’m not making a argument. I hate the design more than anyone.

The problem has been acknowledged by Apple as being particles of dust, food behind the key mechanism. So the obvious solution is to cover the keys. I’ve had a cover for a while and now have had zero issues.


I'm sure Apple has a generous keyboard-cover licensing program for third-party vendors.


> The solution is to use a keyboard cover.

Not an acceptable solution.

Dust and other small particles shouldn't defeat a laptop keyboard.


Well I don’t work for Apple so can’t help you further.

It is a solution though albeit I agree not a perfect one.


This is the tech equivalent of victim blaming.
