Apple's butterfly keyboard mechanism that the company claims is thinner yet more stable has become the subject of a lawsuit by unhappy users that claim it keeps breaking down. In a class action lawsuit filed in United States' federal court spotted by AppleInsider, several customers claim the company knew about the flawed keyboard deployed in MacBook 2015 and MacBook Pro 2016 models onwards. The plaintiffs Zixuan Rao and Kyle Barbaro faced these issues with different MacBook Pro models. The plaintiffs seek damages, legal fees and demand Apple not only publicly disclose the keyboard design flaw, but pay to remedy or replace defective units. Apple has indirectly acknowledged the problem, with support documents detailing a method of cleaning the keyboard with a can of compressed air.
