Who Needs the Letter ‘B’ Anyways? Macbook Keyboard Gets Goofed

Although Apple leads the industry in meticulous, precision perfect design, even a few unintended mishaps are bound to happen when dealing with massive supply chains and manufacturers. Kind of like the keyboard error below.

One proud Apple customer recently opened his Macbook, only to discover the keyboard had two “M” keys, an out of place “N” key, and was completely lacking a “B” key.

This isn’t the first time a keyboard error like this was discovered. Back in May the image below was posted by Engadget, which clearly shows the lack of an “F11″ key.

Manufacturing errors like this can happen when parts get standardized. All of Apple’s new notebooks now use the same keyboard (minus the backlighting variants), so a replacement or keyboard swap out shouldn’t a very big deal. Of course, Apple might not even acknowledge the letter B’s existence, in which case… good luck.
