I actually like the new keyboard... :(
My fingers feel a lot less fatigued over time vs using a traditional mechanical keyboard. And even compared to the 2015 MBP, the newer keyboards feel more comfortable to relax my fingers on. While I never bothered doing a speed comparison between the two, I feel like I type slightly faster, albeit with slightly more mistakes. For example, reaching for the y key will occasionally cause my pinky to accidentally press the semi-colon key.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoThe keyboards seem to be very divisive. I know a lot of people who like them or don't mind them. I flat out cannot use them, and not for lack of trying.
- spronkey 8y agoI like the clickiness, and initial feel is very positive, but after a few minutes I find it really frustrating to type on them.
- willtim 8y agoMechanical keyboards should provide much less fatigue if you avoid "bottoming out", which is much easier to do when a key has lots of travel and a dampening force curve. Most people suffer fatigue from these very low travel Apple keyboards as fingers will come to an abrupt hard stop. It's almost like typing on a hard surface. The Apple keyboards were designed to be thin at the expense of everything else, reliability, maintainence, longevity, and comfort.
