Unfortunately, Apple's butterfly keyboards are highly controversial and have been called out as one of the company's worst design decisions due to their penchant for failure due to small particulates like crumbs or heat issues.
Apple announced on Wednesday a 16-inch MacBook Pro that replaces the company's high-end 15-inch MacBook Pro laptops. But here's what matters most: Apple completely redesigned the keyboard for the first time since 2015.
To remove the "normal" keys, use a thin, flat tool such as a pair of tweezers or a small screwdriver to get under the key at the bottom-left corner and push the prong out of its hole. Once it's out, pull the key down from the top-right corner and wiggle until the left hand side of the key is detached.
Apple will replace all butterfly switch keyboards for free -- even on its new MacBook Pro models unveiled Tuesday. Apple also said it has changed the material used in its butterfly switch keyboards to avoid the problem of letters double-typing.
