Even though Apple has introduced a new scissor switch keyboard with its 16-inch MacBook Pro launch, it doesn’t mean the class action lawsuit surrounding the MacBook Pro’s Butterfly keyboard has been laid to rest. In fact, a federal judge earlier this week rejected Apple’s request to drop the lawsuit surrounding the faulty keyboards, meaning that the proceedings will move forward as originally intended.

A fresh report from Reuters details that San Jose District Judge Edward Davila stated that Apple must face claims that its Butterfly keyboard repair program is inadequate. For those that don’t know, Apple launched a repair program that covers the MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air models all equipped with a Butterfly keyboard. While these can be replaced when an issue starts to appear, the replacements are also using Butterfly mechanisms, meaning that even if they are replaced, it can mean premature failure in the near future can happen.
