Type with fingernails covered in acetone, eat over the keyboard, neglect the particulates that are in/on/around the keyboard area. 

 

While granted this shouldn’t have to be done, it’s the harsh reality of Gen 1-3 butterfly keyboards. It’s how I’ve managed to only have my x key double press sometimes on a 2016 machine.

    I'd call that poor engineering. You shouldn't have to worry about dust around your keyboard lol. Macbooks are shit now days

    I was about to agree but I can’t on the basis that you said they were shit. If you take care of them they are fine. But if you use them normally and don’t baby them, they tend to break.

    Right then that's a horrible laptop by my definition of what I expect out of a $2000+ device that's based of off previous versions of it. They prioritized design over functionality which is appalling

    TIL using a laptop like a normal person and having it break means that it isn't shit.
