“Apple has indicated that most MacBook and MacBook Pro keyboard repairs will be required to be completed at Apple Stores until further notice, rather than being shipped to an off-site Apple repair center, according to an internal memo shared with Apple Store employees last week and obtained by MacRumors,” Joe Rossignol reports for MacRumors.
“Apple’s memo, titled ‘How to support Mac customers with keyboard-related repairs in store,”‘ advises Genius Bar technicians that these keyboard repairs should be ‘prioritized to provide next-day turnaround time,'” Rossignol reports. “Apple did not provide a reason for this change, but the company is known for customer satisfaction, so it could be trying to speed up the process a bit to alleviate frustration.”
Rossignol reports, “Affected customers should visit Apple’s Get Support page to book an appointment with a Genius Bar or an Apple Authorized Service Provider, who are also authorized to complete free repairs under Apple’s service program.”

Whenever I buy a new desktop, I upgrade the badly manufactured flat keyboards to the expertly manufactured Apple A1048 White 109-Key USB Wired Pro Keyboard with 2 USB Ports.
This is properly not a joke. Apple are supposed to make premium products for premium customers. I’m on my third, defective MacBook keyboard, about to be a fourth because I feel tied to OS X.
This is worse than anything Microsoft – making a laptop computer where the keys don’t work. Imagine what would be said if Microsoft or Dell laptop made a computer where the keyboard didn’t function.
They’d probably say “buy another keyboard, they’re cheap enough”. 😛
If it were cheap it might be forgivable. The MacBooks aren’t cheap.
I’m typing this on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011) keyboard and all of the keys work…never a problem.
I just had a 2017 Macbook keyboard repaired by Apple, the store was great… turn around was only a week, my unit was out of warranty and they replaced the keyboard and the whole bottom section for free. Things happen, there response was great, sounds like now it will even be faster.
