How to Fix a Stuck Key on a Macbook Pro Butterfly Keyboard (2016-2019) Without Using Tools or Compressed Air
Just turn the laptop upside down and tap on the back. Seriously
If you have a Macbook Pro with the butterfly keyboard (2016 - 2019 models) and one of the keys is stuck, try this fix:
Pick up your laptop and turn it upside down. Note the position of the stuck key. Using two fingers, simply give the bottom of the laptop a bunch of firm taps in the area of the problematic key.
Right the laptop and set it down. Push the problematic key repeatedly. It should pop back into place, if it didn't during the inverted step.
This morning the "U" key on my Macbook Pro became stuck in the down position. I read three pointless articles and watched four videos until I finally found the trick I just described. I hope someone Googles for how to fix it and finds this faster than it took me.

I tried this on my magic keyboard's delete key for 5-10 times and it worked.
Lol dude, it actually worked! Thank you!
My mind is blown, arrow key has been stuck forever, turned the laptop upside down, tapped it twice and it's unstuck. You're my hero!
That worked!! Thanks
Wow, so simple and it really did work. I had to repeat two or three times, but as you can see, my T key is back to it's old self again. Thank you!
This actually worked! Thanks a lot.
