I'm typing this from a 2019 16" MBP keyboard. And I can say without a doubt that it is my favourite keyboard of probably 10 macs I've ever owned. There is a Macbook Air sitting nearby which I just tried for comparison. It's pretty good too. But the MBP 16" is just lovely. Quiet. Enough feedback. The only gripe is, and this might be true of all Mac backlit keyboards. Is that I can see light coming from under the keys when viewing it at a low angle such as when I've got my feet up and it's on my lap. Not just through the letters, but little slivers of light under each one.

> Not just through the letters, but little slivers of light under each one. My pet peeve too. I hate that, as it doesn't happen on Microsoft Surfaces. If it can't be fixed due to the different travel distance, give me instead a RGB led per key and I will be coding funny patterns to work around the issue (ex: red keyboard backlight at night, with a green for the important keys like enter, and blinking F keys if I got activity on a terminal)
