Unshaky
A macOS utility that mitigates the double key press issue on Apple's butterfly keyboards by dismissing duplicate key events.
What is Unshaky?
Unshaky is a macOS utility that addresses the double key press issue prevalent in Apple's butterfly keyboard models (MacBook Pro 2016-2019, MacBook Air 2018). It intercepts keyboard input and filters out unintended duplicate key events that occur due to hardware malfunctions, allowing users to type normally without characters repeating unexpectedly. The tool provides a configurable software workaround for a known hardware design flaw.
Mac users with affected butterfly keyboard models (MacBook, MacBook Air 2018, MacBook Pro 2016-2019) who experience sticky keys or double character inputs and want to avoid costly keyboard replacements.
Unshaky offers a free, user-configurable alternative to expensive Apple keyboard repairs or replacement programs. Unlike system settings adjustments, it provides precise per-key control over filtering delays and works system-wide for all applications.
