But I’ll update this if I think otherwise after I’ve had the chance to try one. So it’s my belief that this comparison holds true even with the third-generation butterfly switches around. It’s just better at not dying, which is something it should have been in the first place. I don’t think it provides much of an improvement in terms of actual typing experience. But from what reviewers have written so far, it seems like the new keyboard is quieter because there are some protections under each key to keep dust out. I’m yet to try it, and after I do, I’ll update this post. I thought, now would be a good time to compare all the keyboards Apple makes and put them in their place.Īt the time of writing this, a new keyboard containing third-generation butterfly switches has just hit the shelves with the 2018 MacBook Pro.

With its 2015 12-inch MacBook and subsequently the MacBook Pros, they replaced the good old chiclet keyboard from its Macs in order to reduce the laptops’ thinness. Some people are enthusiastic about mechanical keyboards, and I’ve tried a few, but I always loved the chiclet-style keyboard. My editor at an online newspaper had a MacBook Pro and I loved typing on it.Įventually, I got a MacBook Pro and I loved its chiclet keyboard (also known as island-style keyboard).
