I have two 12 MacBook at home. I've replaced the keyboard twice on one and zero times on the other. Each time some keys got stuck in pressed position which meant we had to press harder. My other had similar issues except the keys popped back up somehow.

That occasional glorious press on "Return" key may lock it... and it feels terrible.

Plus ça change...

My first computer was the ZX 81 with its pressure-sensitive membrane keyboard. While I was tinkering around, I accidentally dropped a screw driver on the "K" key, which was now permanently depressed, and subsequently I had to lift it up a bit with a suction cup (or, well, orally) before I could type...
