I strongly agree with their conclusion about Apple keyboards: "Apple inflicted the butterfly keyboard on millions of customers for years, giving it the dubious distinction of causing the most tangible badness of anything we’ve ever reviewed." I had to quit using Apple laptops for years due to how physically painful that keyboard was for me...
- ImprovedSilence 5y agoIt gets tons of press and seems pretty meme-y to hate. But mine of 3 years has no problems and I actually enjoy typing on it quite throughly. More than an other laptop keyboard actually. I’m sure there are at least dozens out there just like me…
- musicale 5y agoNot sure why you were downvoted – you are likely correct that dozens of people (at least ;-) ) are fine with the butterfly keyboard and have used it for years without incident. My own butterfly keyboard was replaced twice, with the final version being an "improved" version according to Apple. It has worked OK for 3+ years, with no further problems other than the unpleasantly low key travel and paint wearing off. For me the trackpad's bad palm rejection was a much bigger issue.
- jadamczyk 5y agoHonestly I really liked the short key travel and the tactile feel of the butterfly keyboards. The best part is that the one on MBP 13 from 2017 lasted me like 2 years until I had to buy a more powerful laptop. The thing is I like to keep my computer quite clean so maybe that gave a boost to its life expectancy
