The Great Apple Keyboard Cover-Up

Arrow keys and Keys getting stuck are biggest problems with the MBP. First time I used the keyboard, I had trouble inputting password and had to start using an extension instead. Now I have trouble inputting the long char master password. And still can’t hit arrow keys reliably after six months with this thing.

Hopefully Touch ID fixes the issue with having to enter a long password?

I know it's not a huge deal but touch id is less secure than a good password, so it's not a complete solution. You also can't use touch id in all circumstances... It's actually quite inconsistent in that regard.

I've been completely underwhelmed by the touch ID on my MBP. Faster just to type every time, or unlock with my watch

The watch is usually how I unlock my computer, but I'm surprised to hear you're underwhelmed by touch ID, as in my experience the touch ID is very accurate and quite fast (and I use it multiple times a day for authorization of things, especially unlocking 1Password).

It seems finicky. If I press straight down and line up carefully, it works. I've tried retraining but at this point I'm kind of done with it.
