Apple (finally) launched an official Keyboard Service Program to fix or replace defective keyboards on recent MacBook and MacBook pro models. Apple said that affected devices may have “one or more keys or the whole keyboard” replaced for free (after being examined). Those who have already paid for such service can contact AppleCare to see if they’re eligible for a refund.
