I spent some time with the keyboard. It's not terrible. It's very different in feel from the Air/Pro, especially when typing fast. It takes some getting used to but I would not complain if this keyboard made its way to the MacBook Pro.
- eropple 12y agoSort-of-agreed. I like the corner stability, but I think I'd be unhappy if the key travel was this poor on the MacBook Pro.
- nsxwolf 12y agoThe loss of travel is the sticking point. The only reason to lose it on the Pro would be to standardize the feel across product lines and improve manufacturing efficiency. I use an HHKB2 Pro and the IBM Model M on desktop computers, which are lightyears different in travel compared to scissor switches. But I've also become pretty comfortable touch typing on a full size iPad, and the new MacBook keyboard feels somewhere in between typing on an Apple scissor switch keyboard and an iPad.
- eropple 12y agoRight, but you could use taller butterfly switches to retain the right kind of travel. I wouldn't mind that.
