The problem that most people have is not with how it feels, it's how unreliable it is with buttons failing or missing keystrokes. Sometimes only caused by a spec of dust.

Getting used to the feeling of the flatter keyboard isn't really an issue for most people.



No, most people have no issues. There is not a 51% failure rate. Being in a group does not a majority make.


According to Twitter Poll by 50 different Web SaaS companies, All of them had MacBook Pro Keyboard failure in their team and have been working around them.

If you are telling me even a 5% keyboard failure rate within the first 2 year of purchase is an acceptable number that we can simply stop further discussion and say we agree to disagree.


I was referring to the subset of people who have a problem though, not the total number of customers who bought one.


Even a 10% failure rate would be catastrophic and much worse than previous keyboards.


Exactly

It’s a piece of shit, and even after a replacement it’s broken within weeks.


I'm just contemplating my second return...


I haven’t had a failure yet and I hate HATE the butterfly switches. I thought the old scissor switches were subpar and prefer a mechanical keyboard, though, so obviously thin and non-tactile are akin to profanity in my world...
