Following up on a story we wrote in March, where the MacBook keyboards have been rendered inoperable from even the tiniest bit of dust or debris, apparently the problem was worse than expected. Casey Johnston from TheOutline, and author of "THE NEW MACBOOK KEYBOARD IS RUINING MY LIFE," has posted a follow up where he not only shows that the problem is incredibly widespread, but also informs us that it is so bad, he sold his 2016 MacBook Pro back to Apple, and went back to using his 2013.
Interesting read, and a massive problem it seems. At least Apple has done something about it... a support page in which they show you how to use a can of compressed air.
I still had my 2013 MacBook Pro around, so I sold my 2016 MacBook Pro back to Apple’s refurb program, and now I just use the 2013 as my laptop (I used the recovered money to build a PC, lord help me). This old MacBook Pro is still fine, and most importantly, all the keyboard keys work.
