I miss the 0.7mm travel. Less work for the fingers. Faster typing. Too bad they couldn't make it reliable.

- NovaS1X 5y agoI know it's completely subjective, but I'm currently on a work provided 2018 mac with the 0.7mm travel and I despise it. I have far, far more typing errors on this keyboard than I do on pretty much anything else. I'm excited to try the new 1mm keyboard.
- jsjohnst 5y agoI feel like we are either odd ducks or else in a silent majority. I love minimal key travel and find it a far superior typing experience.
- jagger27 5y agoI certainly don't miss the feeling of typing on concrete. I suppose a very light fingered typist might appreciate the reduced travel though.
- joeberon 5y agoI actually thought the old butterfly keys were fine back when I was using them, but after getting an M1 2020 mbp, going back is HORRIBLE
- QuercusMax 5y agoTyping on concrete - that's exactly right. I got awful RSI from the butterfly keyboard on my 2018 15-inch MBP. I had used previous MacBooks for nearly a decade with no problems.
- can16358p 5y agoYes! Thought I was the only one. It was slick, good-looking, and typing was a breeze on those. But it was super-problematic and had mine broken multiple times over the years. If they could make 0.7mm butterfly reliable, that would have been awesome.
- pivo 5y agoI love my 2019’s keyboard. That’s the year they added the extra membrane to prevent dust getting in. It’s been flawless for me for the last two years.
