For those who bought US/Imported Set, what kind of charger are you using?

Is it compatible or do you have to buy a special adaptor of some sort?

Is anyone having keyboard issue on your 2018 Macbook Pro with 3rd gen keyboard?

I am having several issues:
1. Letters or characters repeat unexpectedly
2. Letters or characters do not appear
3. Key(s) feel "sticky" or do not respond in a consistent manner

The new 2018 Macbook Pro isn't covered under the keyboard replacement program, so I sent it to AASP, hopefully they give free service as its still under warranty.

Will AASP offer a new Macbook if the issue persist?

Sorry to hear that. So indeed, the 3rd gen butterfly keyboard still doesn't fix the problem. How's the overall experience with the laptop?

Where did you got that number.

It's been all over the news, the replacement would cost up to $700 usd. There are youtubers who shared the invoices. That's why there's a lawsuit.

notice that if I place the keyboard protector on the keyboard, it can get stains quite easily, I think probably it is due the heat generated from the system that melts the material of the protector especially if put it on for prolong period of time.

Yesterday I placed it over my brand new keyboard that is replaced, less than hours can see stain on certain keys, luckily can be removed.

Now dare not to put it on again. Think I will just use it naked.

Which keyboard cover did you get? I think there are a few different types of material.

moshi. actually very good keyboard protector.

just that my macbook pro is always on (24x7). heat is generated over long period of time. if protector is on, stains will be created on the keyboard itself even it is covered.

use without protector, can start to see stains generated even faster. no choice. i need to put back my protector agian. hahaha. tongue.gif

actually with moshi protector, good thing is that the noise of the keyboard is actually significantly lower. the typing also feels better actually.

i use both moshi case and keyboard protector, they are all good.

Will the moshi case scratch the edge of the laptop when installing or removing? I read Amazon review ppl complaining the rubber feet come off easily. You have no issues so far?

I supposed MBA has lesser ppl buying so it may have more supply than MBP.

Nah... the Air has been selling like hot cakes from what I hear. It took one month for the Air hit the stores in Malaysia after the launch last year. So I guess we probably have to wait around one month for the new MBP base to reach Malaysia as well.
