did you use previous generations of macbook (before the butterfly keyboard was introduced) such as 2012? how does it compare?
I find it odd that you say it's fine if you're "forced to" use it, like your standard for a laptop keyboard isn't one that you should be able to use regularly (and you mention bringing your own). was wondering why you have this attitude...
- brandall10 8y agoI've had all generations of keyboards on multiple machines going back to the 1st gen Macbook Pro (early 2008). I type just as fast on the butterfly mechanism as any other, a consistent 90wpm with no mistakes and scattershot up to about 130 wpm during programming. I've been at this speed for about 2 decades now, going all the way back to using a vintage model M keyboard, an AEII keyboard, etc. I sometimes go back and forth between my newer MBPs and a 2014 I still have. It takes about an hour of adjustment to get my speed up when switching.
- logicallee 8y agoThanks for this detailed info. (I type at similar speeds as you.) So when you use the butterfly keyboard at a cafe for example, is your initial feeling a bit of frustration (ah this again), since you did use the expression "forced to use it"...
- brandall10 8y agoI don't really have much of a preference TBH. That slightly less action actually translates into a bit less work... my touch lightens and my fingers move less. I don't think I could live with the 1st gen used on the original 12" Macbooks though.
