I found the keyboard to be amazing for the first week.
But the clicky punch immediately degrades even if you don't get a nanoparticle under one of your keys. They regress quickly to a mushy tactile feel.
It's as if nobody at Apple tested the keyboard for more than a week, nor outside of a pristine cleanroom. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the root cause of all this, because I could see why someone would think the keyboard was an upgrade if that was the extent of the QA testing.
If the keyboard felt like it did the first week but for four years, I would consider it an upgrade. But it's a comically far cry from that.
- eric_h 8y agoI agree that the keyboard doesn't have quite the same "snap" that it did when it was new, but I still honestly prefer it to the older MacBook keyboards. Whenever I type on one they feel so squishy in comparison.
- ordinaryradical 8y agoI really doubt they didn't do long-term QA on the mechanism, but I could definitely see how their emphasis on secrecy might have kept these keyboards in a room that was far cleaner than a normal laptop environment in many ways.
