That problem seem to occur when the MacBooks get hot, but some users have reported having issues at any temperature. For example, some users have reported problems with keys making a high-pitched clicking noise when pressed. There have been other issues with the MacBook Pro keyboard that seem to be unrelated to the issue being addressed by the class action lawsuit. It is likely that you are being affected by the issue if one or more keys have stopped working on your 2015 or later MacBook, or 2016 or later MacBook Pro, or 2018 MacBook Air. Apple emphasises that “No other Mac notebook models are part of this program.”
