Really? Maybe it's a modern laptop thing but I also don't like the newer ones. There is almost no travel, it's so weird, and I broke TWO keyboards in a year after having the previous one for 5 years. I have to be super sensitive with them, whereas I could type with a brick with my pre-2020 thinkpads (which also weigh less than 3lbs...)
- concinds 1y agoI used a 2015MBP for many years, now a new Apple silicon one. The 2015 feels really annoying to type on now, too squishy, requires more force than feels natural. The new keyboards feel terrific in comparison. I never had reliability issues, despite spilling a pretty large amount of water on it once.
- winrid 1y agoInteresting. I mean, it's still way less force than any average mechanical keyboard?
- microtonal 1y agoModern Apple Scissor keyboards have a 64gf tactile force [1], that's pretty much in regular tactile switch territory. The travel is very short though.

- flomo 1y agoAs a former Model M user (and many thinkpads), it's called 'touch typing' and you have to adjust. Nobody is selling a 'brick' laptop in current year.
