Quick answer
Azizi Technologies repairs MacBook keyboards in Dubai, including butterfly and scissor mechanisms. The faults our workshop sees most are double-typing from debris under a key, function keys behaving as media controls, sticky keys after a spill, and mapping changes after a macOS update.
Keys typing the same letter twice
Debris under the mechanism, extremely common in Dubai. Often cleanable without a replacement.
F1 to F12 doing the wrong thing
A settings toggle rather than a fault. Takes seconds once you know where it is.
Keyboard behaving oddly after an update
Modifier keys can be remapped by software or an accessibility setting without you noticing.
Compressed air technique matters. Done wrong it pushes debris further under the mechanism.
Deciding between a key, a keyboard or a top case
On many models the keyboard is riveted to the top case, which changes the job substantially.
| Symptom | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| One key repeats itself | Debris under that key, often cleanable |
| Several keys dead in a row | Ribbon connector rather than the keys |
| Function keys act as brightness and volume | A settings toggle, no fault at all |
| Keys sticky after a spill | Needs opening quickly, liquid spreads to the board |
| Wrong characters on the right keys | Input source or modifier remapping |

Almost always debris under the key mechanism. Butterfly keyboards on 2015 to 2019 models are especially sensitive, and fine dust is a bigger problem in Dubai than in most climates. Cleaning resolves many cases without any replacement parts.
Sometimes. On scissor-mechanism keyboards individual keycaps and clips can be replaced. On many models the keyboard is riveted into the top case, so a single failed key means a top case job. We confirm which applies to your model before quoting.
Power it off immediately, do not press the power button repeatedly, and do not put it in rice. Bring it in as soon as possible. Liquid travels to the logic board over hours, and the difference between a same-day clean and a board repair is often just timing.
