The MacBook keyboard fiasco is way worse than Apple thinks

I know this article highlights the problems with 2018+ keywords, but even my 2016 Macbook, which is one of the first with the butterfly mechanisms, has given me plenty of problems: keys sticking, keys not pressing without a tremendous amount of force, double printing characters, etc.

It is frustrating because I love macOS, but having keyboard problems makes me reluctant to get another Macbook in the future.

The article doesn't discuss the earlier butterfly keyboards because those were even worse and are recalled* per the link the other user included

* "we don't call it a recall, we'll just fix it"
