MacBook Pro,MacBook Air, and the MacBook models took over the butterfly keyboard during 2015 and 2016, with Apple showing the thinness of the keyboard and the superior important feeling and stability.Not long after the keyboards started to launch, customers learned that they were susceptible to failure.

Apple eventually launched oneTature Repair Program in June 2018But it treated the MacBook, MacBook Pro and macbook Air models for four years and Apple would only replace butterfly keyboards with another butterfly keyboard, so some customers have repeatedly carried out mistakes that are no longer treated.Apple's repair program was not enough.
Apple tried Iiterer at the butterfly mechanism to make it more durable, and there were three generations of the butterfly keyboard, but they all had problems.Apple eventually started to replace butterfly keyboards with scissor contact keyboards andphased outThe last butterfly keyboard in 2020, and now all Mac models available, use the more reliable scissor contact mechanism that took place after the butterfly tests.
The lawsuit only includes customers in the aforementioned states, and lawyers expect maximum payments of $ 395 to customers who replace multiple keyboards, $ 125 for people who have replaced a keyboard and $ 50 for people who replace important caps.The settlement is for the time being and must be approved by the court who supervises the case.

Good news!Not surprised, but the lawyers seem to take a large part of the money.It must be consumers who had to pay the most amount of $ because they have to process the butterfly keyboard.

$ 395 for customers who replace multiple keyboards, $ 125 for people replacing a keyboard
It is really a bigger payout than I expected after hearing "Class Action".Editor "up to" $ 125 but still ...

* Replacements had the same/similar problem anyway
