Then you've had the good fortune of never having to use an Apple desktop keyboard made in the past 10 years.

  Call me weird if you must, but I truly appreciate the Apple keyboards. Probably my favorite is the new model Bluetooth keyboard. I love the very very minimal key travel and low activation pressure. I used to have to use “natural” keyboards to keep carpel tunnel at bay, but the previously mentioned features seem to accomplish the same goal. My only nit with it is that I wish it was a full size keyboard including numeric keypad, but I’ve gotten used to not having it now. I also mostly like the new laptop keyboards too, but they can be a bit noisy for my taste when I’m typing fast, especially on the 2016 12” MacBook.

    I agree. The best keyboard I've found to stave off finger and wrist pain is the Macbook keyboard. I've never tried the brand new one, but the 2015 and 2013 I have, the low key travel really helps the wrist pain a lot.

    It is definitely a matter of personal preference. I am a big fan of the Thinkpad keyboards and despise the butterfly keyboards. Apple does still make a full layout version of the bluetooth keyboard though. Though thanks to the built in battery there probably won't be people 30 years from now writing articles about how much they love their retro Magic Keyboard.

        It was easy to miss, they introduced it a whopping 2 years later than the small version.
