Help please. I cant get the touch bar for my Macbook pro 2016 to work
Hello. I recently picked up a macbook and decided to install ubuntu to it. I'm still quite green with linux in general and I'm having difficulty trying to get the touch bar to work. I spent hours just getting Wi-fi, sound etc. to finally work and its the last thing that is not functioning. I tried using the dkms installer for this https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver and i get this error. I have been looking for ages trying to figure out what is causing the problem. Any help would be appreciated and if I have posted in the wrong subreddit, please let me know and direct me to where i should go to seek help.

Merge tag 'arm-Apple-M1-5.13' of Linux
I don't think this works with 2019 or later Intel Macbooks, but as far as I know the most recent relevant information and drivers are here: https://github.com/roadrunner2/macbook12-spi-driver. In my own experience, it's the trackpad, keyboard, and built-in speakers that don't work, but everything else seemed to be fine (2015 macbook).

Just bought MBP 2018
If the sticky keys come back, you can use software like this to mitigate it reasonably well.

Realistically how much would you pay for a 2018 15" with double type keys.
I use Unshaky as it fixes the issue entirely on my 2016 13”. Maybe that could be mentioned to a possible buyer?

US MacBook owners have two months to claim up to $395 over butterfly keyboard
I have an M1 now and it is glorious but back when I had the MBA with the butterfly keys, someone pointed me to https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky and it helped eliminate 99% of the double-typing or ghost keys. You will have to tweak the ms until you find the right number that fits your typing speed but once you get it all setup, the butterfly keyboard will become much more tolerable.
Or.. you could just swap it for an M1. :)

Apple will pay up to $395 to people with broken MacBook butterfly keyboards [Updated] - Class-action settlement applies to buyers nationwide.
In case you didn't know there's an app which did resolve most of the problems for me, when I had the MacBook with the butterfly keys: https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky

2020 Macbook Pro Keys Double Typing?
I believe there’s software for detecting and removing double typed letters. It was developed for people suffering the same issue on butterfly keys. Google for it. Here’s one app example.

IT'S OFFICIAL!! New macs coming next week.
If your issue's double key presses, you can install Unshaky, then open the app's settings and set the delay to 40 or 50 ms (depending on how fast you type).

My N key is being entered multiple times on a single press. Looks like there is some hardware problem.
