I wish there is something as World Wide Class Action.

The biggest problem isn't with the design issues here. Apple is not perfect, every new design will come with its own set of problem and trade offs. Normally most of these are Net positive gain. This time around I am pretty sure the Keyboard is mostly a step backwards, because reliability is the most important thing for a Keyboard.

And what is worst is that people has been complaining about it since 2015, and in 2016, then 2017, two version later they still haven't done a thing, apart from making the keyboard louder to make you think you pressed the button.

There is still a lot to love for the iPhone. ( Even that is going downhill, but still loveable ) But Mac has been on the sideline with no attention and care.

I would beg Tim Cook please do not come out and say you Love or you care about the Mac. You are no Steve Jobs and do not have Reality Distortion Field. When you say something like you you are only really taking a piss and add insult to injury.

And last note: Please prove me wrong in WWDC 2018.




The 2017 keyboards have been an improvement over the previous iteration. Less failures.

It's also ridiculous to say that they don't care about the Mac when they just released the iMac Pro and are currently designing the new Mac pro.


They say they care, their actions have proven otherwise. They need more than a promise of a new Mac Pro and an iMac Pro which starts at $5000 to win back their most loyal Mac fans after years, literally years of neglect.

And after this, they are gonna need years to rebuild that trust.


I mean, before these new MacBooks what was the number one complaint on this website about Macs? They don't make pro machines anymore, they don't care about pro users, etc.

Now, as soon as they actually do something about that, no one cares anymore.



I didnt say it was perfect, just that it fails less often than the 2016 keyboards. Which it does.


They may "care" but nowhere near to the level they used to. It's clear that they get more revenue from the iPhone and spend most of there money there (understandable), vs the Mac line.
