What we have from Apple laptops, when it comes to the ThinkPad keyboard, is like comparing stone tablets with a 1980 IBM electric type writer ;)

- jen20 4y agoIt’s pretty unclear to me which is supposed to be which in this comparison after the ThinkPad switch to mushy chiclets in the early 2010s (limited run anniversary edition excepted).
- jgaa 4y agoThey used to be better, that is true. But any of my thinkpads have way better keyboards than any of my macbooks. I keep a X1 just as a typewriter.
- ajford 4y agoThe Thinkpad chiclets suck compared to the scissor switches of the earlier models, but compared to the soft putty that is Mac keyboards, they're still a winner. When I had to use a Macbook for work a few years back, I was unable to use the keyboard for more than 15-20 minutes without it flaring my RSI. That's compared to about an hour or so I can get on my Thinkpad.
