I have my key work apps and bookmarks set up on my MacBook Air, but I know from that experience that there are a zillion small things that will drive me nuts in the week I’m without the machine. It’s not that it’s impossible to be without it – I managed before – but it is a major hassle. I tried an Authorized Apple Reseller, expecting them to be more flexible (diagnose the issue on one visit, then let me take it away and call me when they have the keyboard in so they can do the swap on a same-day basis), but nope. I called an Apple Store, and they told me they’d need it for about five days, and that’s a much bigger deal. I still have wanted to get it fixed, of course, but kept deferring it because being without my machine for the best part of a week would be such a pain. The CMD key and spacebar problems were less frequent, so I was fixing them with occasional hammering at them and less frequent compressed air treatment. That would still have been enough to drive me to despair but for the second factor: Unshaky, a Mac utility that fixes double-presses. I only use the built-in keyboard when traveling, when mobile, and when using the Mac in another room.
A Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad serve as my input devices.

My home office setup is MacBook Pro off to the side, serving as a second monitor, with my now elderly 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display as my primary monitor. These things would have long since driven me nuts but for two factors…įirst, I use an external keyboard when working. I get double-characters for B and P, and both spacebar and CMD keys are unreliable. My 2016 MacBook Pro has long been suffering from the infamous butterfly keyboard glitches. I’ve finally been forced into arranging the keyboard replacement I’ve been deferring forever, and that has led me to think about my next Mac.
