I typing this on my coffeeshop computer, a 12" MacBook, with the butterfly keys. I don't like them very much; my four year old MacBookPro Retina has much nicer keys and so does my Apple Magic Keyboard on my desktop system.
I'm curious about the new MacBook Pro keys, they allude to second generation butterfly keys. Have you had a chance to try the newly released system's keyboard?
- matthewking 10y agoYes its the brand new keyboard that I was referring to, a friend got one from his workplace, space grey looks amazing and the larger trackpad is nice but as mentioned, keyboard is a no go. I really hope the reasoning for it wasn't to shave off a few more mm! I have the 2014 MBP so my comparison is skipping the first generation of butterfly keyboard that you mentioned, I've been told that its worse than that one too but I can't say myself.
- brandoncordell 10y agoI know I'm in the minority here, but I always bring a small mechanical keyboard anywhere I go. Usually something quiet, in case I'm working in a coffee shop or something. A Poker2/3 fits well over the MBP's keyboard without hitting any of the keys on accident.
- matthewking 10y agoYes I've seen people doing that, and I do appreciate a mechanical keyboard, is the typing position a bit high though? One thing I saw someone mention is that because the new keyboard is wider you might not be able to rest a poker on top anymore, possibly because it won't reach the edges to sit on them without sitting directly on the keys?
