Refurbished? Next time don't recycle the gunk, glitter, and human hair
I’m no refurbishment expert, but when you refurbish a product I don’t think you’re supposed to also recycle the dirt…The delivery was quick and arrived early, the packaging was thoughtful, the lightening cord was a wonderful surprise bonus, the setup on my early 2011 MacBook Pro was easy, and at first glance the keyboard looked squeaky clean. However, a few minutes into using the keyboard for the first time, I noticed that a few keys weren’t working smoothly. I brought the keyboard closer to my face for inspection, and that’s when I noticed that the keyboard was FILTHY. Specifically, while the top of the keys look clean, in between the keys there’s an accumulation of dirt/gunk, glitter, and what looks like a short curly hair from a part of the human body that I will not mention. There’s also dirt, gunk and glitter between a crease at the bottom of the keyboard just below the area where the serial number is displayed. I also noticed a small chip on the keyboard, but that’s something I can live with. What I can’t live with is someone else’s filth and germs. It’s quite incomprehensible how anyone’s money can be taken in exchange for this literal filth. Again, I am no refurbishment expert, so perhaps I'm just unable to comprehend the complex and scientific role that the recycled gunk and glitter plays in holding this "CERTIFIED Refurbished" keyboard together. But perhaps...swiping the keyboard with a q-tip swab and a bit of alcohol won't compromise the recycling process and will make for an equally useful product?
