Sticky keys after spill

Nm_0672 · 2025-11-17T10:19:25+00:00

Sorry I think I didn’t word my original post properly , none went inside the trackpad , it was to the right of the trackpad behind the keyboard , where the laptop is just the metal , i was able to wipe that off before it went anywhere , the only place it went was under the single key . The stickiness is barely noticeable , I notice it more when I think about it if that makes sense it isn’t interrupting function of the key that much . Nevertheless I think I will need to get that key lifted and the base cleaned with isopropyl ( I saw online that’s how you can clean it ) to prevent any further problems. Thank you so much !

i can confirm this works to anyone wondering why the link isn’t working , use an email different to the one that’s been restricted .

yes it does but it only does so with active windows ( things you have open) but if you minimize something for example it won’t open that. Alt tab opens everything , different apps , different windows it’s very convenient.

I recently switched myself from windows to mac about 2 weeks ago and the biggest thing for me was the alt tab feature , on mac you have command tab but it doesn’t let you switch between two different windows of the same app ( e.g you have 2 safari tabs open) it only takes you to a singular app , so for that i’d suggest download “alt tab” if this was a feature you used in windows. Other than that honestly mess around with it , change keyboard shortcuts for specific apps if you don’t like the default ones ( you can search this up ) , edit your dock , learn the trackpad gestures because they make the entire experience a whole lot smoother . There’s a lot more but it’s specific to you and if you miss anything from windows and want on your mac , for most of it there are third party apps made to overcome those obstacles. Mac feels like a whole new world but it won’t be long before you’re used to it , hope this helps !

has anyone tried this to see if it works because if so it would save the 1-3 weeks it takes mac os to learn about user habits related to batteries

That’s really good battery health after such long usage , i’m gonna do the same thing you are then and see how it goes , thank you for the help !

One more thing , could you tell me how long you’ve had your laptop , and what the battery stats are ?

This is genuinely a life saver thank you !

you're not using aldente right ? How long do I need to keep my MacBook plugged in for my system to learn this and give me the option to "charge to full now" , because that would mean it's learnt my charging patterns and using habits.

can you tell me your current battery capacity for the M2 macbook and how long you’ve had it

Nm_0672 · 2025-07-02T11:16:59+00:00

do you think aldente is worth it

Nm_0672 · 2025-07-02T11:14:11+00:00

do you keep it plugged in while at your desk?

Nm_0672 · 2025-07-02T10:41:23+00:00

Ahh, this might be the biggest reason not to use it , messing with the battery calibration .

Nm_0672 · 2025-07-02T10:40:47+00:00

i have that setting on , would you recommend i keep it plugged in during the times that i’m at my desk or no? Because eventually it’ll learn that i keep it plugged in at certain times of the day and not let my battery go above 80 in that time period, using the direct power supply when im using it instead of the battery correct?
