Reply to comment by plazman30 in 11 Year Old Unicomp Model M Keyboard by zstandig

oh jeez, remember when apple used actual keyboards instead of touch buttons or little chiclets. But, form over function - that's the apple way... right?

Since Jonny Ive left, it has gotten better. I have the new 16" MacBook Pro, and it undid a lot of Jonny Ive's sins. I held off on buying a new MacBook Pro until Apple got rid of that horrible butterfly keyboard.

I actually went into the Apple store a half dozen times ready to buy a new MacBook Pro and sat down in front of a MacBook Pro and would type on one and nope out of the store because the idea of typing on that God-awful keyboard for the next 5 years was just unthinkable.

Took Apple till 2021 to do it. But they finally did it.

Yeah because Dell and HP still include mechanical keyboards with all their PCs. You can even choose between Cherry or ALPS
