It's not just the switch mechanism. The keys are too big and the gap between them is too narrow. I used to intuitively feel where my fingers were and pressing a key off center was much less likely to cause a typo.

Making it easier to feel the gaps between keys really does make a difference. https://daringfireball.net/2019/11/16-inch_macbook_pro_first_impressions https://daringfireball.net/2019/11/16-inch_macbook_pro_first...
- deagle50 7y agoThanks. I looked into it and apparently the new gap is 2.5mm vs 3.5mm on the 2015. I hope it's enough. If so, the next Air with the new keyboard and quad core Ice/Tiger Lake gets my money. edit: or ideally a 14" Pro
- gwd 7y agoYeah, I was quite encouraged by the description of the changes in that blog post. I haven't had an issue so far with keys sticking, but literally every complaint I did have about the new keyboard (low keypress travel, keys too close together, touchbar too close to the keyboard, no physical Escape key) was addressed. If there was an easy way to trade in my 2018 15" Pro for a reasonable price I would totally do it.
