*Open mouth, insert foot* regarding MacBook keyboards

Written By Michael Wense

Last month, I shared a piece from MacRumors about a potential update to the MacBook line with a revised keyboard, and I added some commentary about the typing experience of Apple’s current-generation MacBooks.

Well, I ended up purchasing a new MacBook for a work trip when I finally admitted to myself that just using an iPad wasn’t quite cutting it for me. I have to say, now that I’ve been using a machine with the butterfly keyboard, although it is different and it does take a little getting used to, it’s not as bad as I let on. While I do prefer keys with a little bit more travel, it hasn’t taken me long to get used to this type of keyboard. And in some ways, it’s actually quite nice.

Now, we’ll see if it ends up having any of these reliability issues that some people have had.
