> but I’ve still seen a couple of the MacBook keyboards fail in their short life. One had a key become sticky and unreliable, the other had its space fall off.

The return key on my 2 month old 13" Macbook Pro has already lost its "click". A couple of times a week I have to reboot it to get sound working again. Plugging external monitors in is a coin toss. I have to carry an external dongle around to use it and the dongle gets noticeably warm when in use: what's going on in there?



My MBP keyboard degraded over time, only 2 years in. Started with WASD (hehe) and spread outward until nothing worked. I plugged in an external keyboard and soldiered on. One day I bootcamped into Windows and something went wrong. I got completely locked out because apparently the internal keyboard is the one and only way to get the boot menu. I understand repair would cost $250+. Very disappointing since my previous MB lasted 9 years.


Was it the 2015 13" by chance? Those were known to go bad quickly.


2013 13”, but probably the same general issue.


If it is only 2 months old I would suggest bringing it to the apple store for repair. They made is very painless for me.
