I have yet to meet someone in person that thought it was as terrible as claimed

I haven't met you in person, but I will tell you that it's even worse. I have a supply of cans of compressed air at home to clean out my MacBook Pro's keyboard on a regular basis lest the keys get stuck. I have never had to do this with any of my previous Mac laptops over the past 17 years.




For such purposes i recommend something like this (an air blower for cameras): https://www.amazon.com/Giottos-AA1900-Rocket-Blaster-Large/d...

No need to produce a lot of waste by buying canned air. Unless you pressurise them yourself of course.


That's a good idea. However, I've tried my rocket blower. It generates insufficient air pressure to remove detritus trapped under the keys.


I have never had to do this with the current MacBook keyboards so I'm at a loss as to what you all are doing to get so much crap under the keys...


Currently the right side of my space bar is non-functional. The left side is working fine.
