[@HeythereDavehere]

Pinning this to help others find what they’re looking for. But keep in mind, my fix doesn’t doesn’t ALL problems with the keyboard. That’s why I wanted to give some context.

[@arbs4726]

Thanks so much

[@HiResGreg]

Thanks so much. So much rambling 💪🏾

[@kitemily4927]

Omg I really didn’t believe I would get my MacBook unlock after so many trials @exceptional_tools on lG came to my rescue his a genius you saved my ass bro..

[@AdammironTV]

I can't believe this worked! I suffered through months of annoying double lettering and now it's fixed. Thank you again!

[@50RobinHill]

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman! Thank you for this great fix. My 2016 Macbook Pro keyboard has been misbehaving for months with non-functioning keys (including the command key). It was driving me crazy and interfering with my work productivity as I had to do everything twice-over. I followed your directions and - so far anyway - everything works again. So nice of you to share this!

Bro the video is 5 minutes chill

[@JazzandLaughter]

EXACTLY!!!!!

[@uhlsport10]

This actually worked. My space bar had been giving me fits for the past month and I was to the point where I was considering taking it to an Apple store to get it fixed. Thankfully I looked on KZbin and found this video. It’s a pretty easy fix and I appreciate you taking the time to make this video. Awesome stuff.

[@ayushianand5271]

Hey, how to fix the spacebar? Mine is not working.

[@larryc2540]

UNBELIEVABLE !! this worked like magic, I have been struggling with this issue for years ! Thank you so much

[@SagarRuparelia009]

Thank you

[@RatPfink66]

15" 2017 MacBook w/ *T1* security chip. Not T2. Holding Ctrl-Opt-Shift will not allow apple to appear OR disappear when you hold Power. Apple appears only when keys are released and boot begins. Holding Power alone gives same result. In both cases spacebar issue persists. Any ideas? Rest of keys work fine.

[@RatPfink66]

Oddly enough the spacebar is working lots better after a week's use!

[@mhaseeb1546]

Working!! i am a developer. I use to much space, also the ctrl + c & ctrl + v most of the time it paste two times. now it looks working. Thanks mate!!

[@sabrinaflynn2154]

I took out my E key the other day and tried to clean it. Worked for a day, then it started sticking again. This worked! Thank you!

[@tieusday]

Im so shocked that this worked! Thank you so much im so happy now :)

[@Gretchen.Gale.Merriweather]

This absolutely worked for me. I have a MacBook Pro and the letter "E" was sticking. I tried removing the key, spraying with air, using a brush to remove dust, and nothing worked until I reset the computer. Thank you so much for sharing this information.

[@gopalsidhu161]

He took 5 fuckng mins to just say restart ur system. 😭

My system would not restart at all by pressing the button. I had to do exactly his way so it depends.

Thank you soooo much! I have tried looking at videos from KZbin, all of them were about removing your keys. But when I saw this video, my Macbook Air 2019's spacebar is now, finally working!!!

[@Jennifer-qd4pp]

No idea I’m watching this as I just took mine in today for them to replace it but here we are (I was told I’d get it back in 5-7 days incase anyone is wondering)

[@ralmarri12]

can you share the result, was it fixed did the problem showed up again after 3 months? I'm going to do same next week.

[@williampockoski5029]

This solution worked for me, thank you very much. Teaching an old dog new tricks at 72. Thank you again.

[@jaydenbrycebustamante8706]

Wow thank you so much this video is a lifesaver! I have an old 2016 MacBook Pro and apple is charging me $700 to repair it when all it took was this video to repair my double letter and double space bar clicks!!

[@jimbonorth8124]

WOW REALLY SOLVEd the problems of supper case auto conversion. by resetting the SMC. Thank you

[@imdonsamy]

I did a lot of research and could not find a fix. Watched this and its fixed! you are the goat, thank you.

It works!!!! My ESC key was not working at all, I thought nothing could be done to fix it but all I had to do was shut down and restart my laptop and the key is back to functioning! Thank you!

[@nikolayyurukov6163]

The video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm really a shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I can introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she has a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I want the best for her and I harbor no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seems happy with her boyfriend, so I did not bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it, I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already when I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wants to live some other life without me in it, so I said, okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness. My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally can't take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get my self a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video. She said, you know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer. So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.!

[@mrburge232]

bruh, this is wholsome

[@banakumem]

Didn't fix 100% of the problem but did 95%. Which is already a lifesaver. THANKS!

[@jimb5796]

Thanks for your help Dave! I had the same problem with my MacBook Air and it's now working fine

[@samantharhodes]

IT WORKED! I hate the apple store - you saved me from that nightmare!!! KING!

[@CaterinaVerde]

Yup. Perfect! Thank you. The space bar was driving me bonkers. Now is perfect.

[@LMBC6Brian]

This is not the fix. It will get worse. Its a hardware problem and at some point you will need service. Look at my sentence. It double spaced again and I just did the SMC reset...

[@davemcginnis1568]

Woke up this morning to this problem on my mac book pro. Just wanted to say THANKS! This tip saved me alot of time and probably money for such a simple fix.

[@cashmereclown8512]

mine says "this comouter doesnt contain any controller devices" wtf

Thanks so much, it’s been a year since my keyboards were unresponsive, I even bought external keyboard for use and wished I’ve seen this video before. I’ve tried everything and nothing worked but now it does

[@kayeadriano7577]

Same

[@lanceabaja2735]

Do the latter solution that was stated in the video. Press control option shift simultaneously

[@SurvivorStory]

@@lanceabaja2735 I brought it to an Apple authorized repair shop. They said don’t try to fix it yourself, you can’t, use the left side of the space bar because it’s going to cost $386 to fix and it’s not worth it.

[@iamelvan]

its 2022 and THIS still works. my 2017 macbook pro is finally working again. thank you for this video.

[@cheryldavenport9326]

Your are great always finding ways to help others thank you

[@amandamatfin2323]

Worked like a charm for me! I have a 2017 MacBook Pro, and when I went into hardware - controllers it said "This computer doesn’t contain any Controller devices." I tried it pressing option, control, and shift while holding power key for 10 seconds and it worked. My "I" key was sticking like crazy!! Feels like a brand new keyboard now! I will have to get some compressed air to maintain the cleanliness under the keys but this was a god send! Thank you!

[@amaansyed7781]

Hey can you share your long term personal review of MBP 2017, I am gonna buy a used one for $360 it's in still nice condition and battery health above 85. I am worried about the butterfly keys in it, are they faulty and really inconsistent?

[@randallwillms4529]

Wow, this definitely worked! However, I still think there's something 'stuck' under the right side of my spacebar. I can feel that it doesn't depress like it used to. Still, it's SO MUCH BETTER than it was before. Thank you!!!

I've taken my MacBook 2 times for repairing, they told me they have change the keyboard. However I'm is still having this problem with the keys constantly repeating. I will give a shot at this solution when I reach home. I believe at is point it is more a software issue rather than a hardware one, for example if I attach an external keyboard same thing happens. So your solutions sounds promising!!!
