To me the, the worst thing with MacBook keyboards is when keys start to fade out[1]. I really hope they could do something about it

Isn't that an issue on all keyboards without doubleshot keycaps?

stevenjohns|6 years ago

These problems don't exist on doubleshot keycaps, precisely because of the doubleshot injection.

In this case these aren't double shot, they are single shot that is painted/dyed and then has the lettering laser-etched out of the paint/dye.

God, I hate this. 2018 MacBook Pro, had it less than a year, already getting patches like that on some keys.

I can't believe they aren't double-shot. Or just color the whole thing, like Nintendo did with its switch buttons. Lettering and all, so it never rubs off. That would be the kind of quality I'd expect to see for the price of an apple lap top computer.

Huh, left Cmd button on my MBP 2018 has the same issue. Also double t’s. Also sometimes not working left Shift unless you press it harder. Also partially not working Touch Bar (about an inch of it has turned black and doesn’t display anything).

My command Key had this after a couple of years on my MBP took it in to the apple store while I was getting my phone fixed, they just stuck in a new key. I believe they have a key board replacement program if your keys are sticking - something I'll probably avail myself of, I have a few keys that don't work sometimes.
