Yeah I enjoy butterfly switches so much that I'd be genuinely upset if Apple gave in and changed back.

  You’ve also been lucky. Everyone is getting sticky and dead keys on these. I had “B” stick and double press, eventually it stopped after a few more weeks of use, but you can feel a key here and there being a little stubborn. It’s way more fragile than older keyboards.

    That's really wierd because I'm told that I smack my keyboard, and I've never had an issue with the keys breaking or becoming dead/sticky. I guess I'm really lucky, but I'm fine with that. Either way, the butterfly keyboard shouldn't be blamed for a technical failure. The keyboard itself when it's working is perfectly fine to use. Apple justs needs to perfect it until they get it right.

      It isn't that the keys break due to you hitting them, it is that if there is even a miniscule piece of dust that gets into the keyboard it makes the key simply stop working entirely and the probability of breaking the key trying to replace or fix it is very high.

    I’ve had this happen too. But I wouldn’t want to go back to the previous gen keyboard.

    Also, it's happening so often to customers that there is a 3 week waiting period for keyboard replacements at Apple Stores, and sometimes the replacement keyboards are breaking even before Apple can install them: https://twitter.com/stuartkhall/status/924889375011258369 https://twitter.com/stuartkhall/status/924889375011258369 https://twitter.com/stuartkhall/status/929578083123736578 https://twitter.com/stuartkhall/status/929578083123736578
