Double-typing on a MacBook keyboard is most common on the 2015-2019 butterfly keyboard, but happens on later Magic Keyboard models too. Try these in order. 1) Adjust Key Repeat Delay: System Settings → Keyboard → Key Repeat → set to slowest. This buys you time on intermittent doubles. 2) Compressed-air clean: hold MacBook at 75°, blast under the key from each side.
Apple's exact procedure is in their support pages. 3) Reset SMC and PRAM. 4) Boot into Safe Mode to rule out a software conflict. If a specific key consistently doubles, the dome switch under it has failed. On 2015-2019 butterfly models, Apple's keyboard service program covered repairs for free until 2023 - out-of-warranty now, but we replace single keys, full keyboards, or whole top-case assemblies.
