Sticky keys and double-presses have plaguedsomany users, Apple eventually dropped the design altogether.
But theyre not off the hook for their poor design choices.
In fact, they might owe you money for your pain and suffering.
What happened to Apples butterfly keyboard?
Apples butterfly keyboard was a disaster from the jump, but the company never wanted to admit fault.
Other keys might start sticking, making a controversial typing experience actually untenable.
But for those of us who did buy these things, the trauma is still present.
The repair changes nothing about the design, so its possible/likely youll face a similar problem in the future.
This whole situation is bullshit,and the law knows it.
And a slice of that $50 million could be yours, if you meet the right criteria.
How to get your Apple keyboard money
Unfortunately, the lawsuits scope is severely limited.
If you didnt buy your laptop in one of these seven states, you unfortunately dont have a case.
But that applies to most MacBooks released from 2015 through 2019.
If you took it to a third-party technician, no payout for you.
If Apple repaired your MacBook with a Magic Keyboard, that doesnt count either.
If you meet all the qualifications, congratulations!
you could get compensation.
The amount will depend on the severity of your repairs.
If you got specific keycaps replaced, thats $50.
If Apple replaced the whole butterfly keyboard, thats $125.
And if the company replaced your butterfly keyboard more than once, they owe you $395.
According to the terms, you should be contacted directly if you qualify.
Your mileage may vary, though.
I meet all the requirements on paper, but have yet to hear from anyone about the settlement.
In theorythe site is acting like a work in progress at this time.
