Apple has publicly acknowledged that the butterfly switch keyboards in some MacBook and MacBook Pro computers have given consumers some trouble, and it has launched a new repair service program that promises to fix problems with those keyboards for free, regardless of whether the consumer purchased AppleCare.

Non-appearing letters
Keys feel sticky or don't respond

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports)

Mac laptops are difficult to open or repair on purpose so to fix a single broken key the whole thing must be disassembled and the entire keyboard replaced (at minimum).
Apple, famous for price gouging, rarely does anything for FREE. I recommend anyone who owns the models listed above to contact the local Apple store and make an appointment to have their keyboard replaced whether it is faulty or not.
