  > I have always been in disbelief of people who have to type for a living and also like Mac keyboards. Why the disbelief? I'm not necessarily a fan of Macs or their keyboards, but generally speaking, I've been able to adapt to almost all types of physical keyboards without issue. They did not affect my speeds on Typeracer, and while I preferred some key types over others, no physical keyboard switches were never deal breakers for me, whether they were mechanical or domes or whatever. I've been typing going back to the 80s, so I've lived through the great IBM and Apple mechanical keyboards of the time. The only keyboards I could never get used to are the pure touch keyboards like ones on the original Surface covers.

  I’ve been using a 12 inch MacBook for the last four years and it’s got one of the keyboards that no one seems to like. However if I hadn’t read it here I wouldn’t have thought there was anything wrong with it and most of my job involves typing. In fact I think the keyboard is quite great. I do type quite softly and quietly though. For me using other keyboards feels like walking in sand and that my fingers have to work a lot harder.
