I use a mechanical keyboard (blue) on desktop, and previously used a relatively thick Lenovo laptop. If my 2018 MBP wasn't constantly double typing 'e', I'd rank it right up there with them in terms of feel. It's shallow, but very crisp, with just the right activation force.
Though, if Apple couldn't fix its issues in three generations, it may be time for them to move on.
- village-idiot 8y agoI still own a 2012 MacBook Air. While the old keys have a hell of a lot of depth, they’re also much more vague and “mushy”. I too prefer the new keyboard, although I wouldn’t rank them anywhere near an actual mechanical switch. My main fear with the new switches is the durability, but since my only new MacBooks are company machines, I won’t pay should some dust disable a key.
- sbuk 8y agoIt’s interesting that you lead with “I type on a mechanical keyboard”. I have long considered that at least part of the issue is related to heavier typing styles. I know that sounds like “your holding it wrong”, but thats not what I’m saying. As engineering solutions go, the keyboard they designed is extremely elegant. Maybe they didn’t account enough for how people type.
