For all I don't like about Apple, their aluminum keyboards are what I prefer and use, precisely for the reasons stated in the article, and to counter your claim, the Apple aluminum keyboard travel is very short, so it bottoms out much quicker and still gives a feel like a mechanical keyboard.
- melling 10y agoMy claim was that you don't want to hit the bottom. If the bottom is "very short", isn't that worse? I don't know the numbers for Apple's keyboards? You activate after about 2mm on a typical mechanical keyboard. You hit bottom around 4mm, which of course, you don't want to do.
