What it does

Unshaky tries to address the double key press issue on the butterfly keyboard (MacBook & MacBook Pro 2016 or later).

Unshaky: A software attempt to address the "double key press" issue on Apple

It seems on macOS 10.15.6, Unshaky no longer works unless by default, workaround: issue #166 Unshaky tries to address an issue on the butterfly keyboard (Macbook, Macbook Air 2018 & MacBook Pro 2016 and later): Double Key Press (See " User complaints " below). Apple made it difficult to replace only the keyboard and it costs hundreds of dollars. Unshaky might save your keyboard by dismissing such "second key hits" (any key presses that occur no later than x milliseconds after the previous effective one). I fixed my "w" key with Unshaky , and if it does not work for you, open an issue here . The image below illustrates how Unshaky works.
