Interesting input from the ai, but reduced is definitely intended to apply to both "key travel" and "keyboard reliability" in that sentence.

- wyldfire 5y agoSo it is a subtle joke? What was the intent of the butterfly design change, then? Just reduced key travel?
- ghshephard 5y agoI thought the joke was pretty explicit as I read it, and pretty funny.
- kgermino 5y agoYep I think the writer intended it as a joke, or at least a comment on how bad the butterfly keys were. The butterfly keyboards didn’t do much except help make a laptops a bit thinner. That had the effect of reduced key travel (often seen as a negative) and massive reliability problems (universally bad).
- wyldfire 5y agoOh, my mistake. I assumed that the "reduced key travel" was actually a feature. If I re-read it as two negatives, it doesn't seem like a joke so much as a straightforward criticism.
