Until Apple increases the amount of key travel on these MacBooks, I will never buy one. Yes, I know this is a subjective issue, but the feel of the keyboard is a really, really important aspect for me when using a laptop. I just refuse to compromise…

I speculate that Apple is fed up with having to incur these operational costs seeing as iPhones and iPad just have a glass screen and virtual keyboard. If I'm right, Apple will have all its laptop users typing on glass within five years. Ugh! …

When the smoke clears on this butterfly keyboard issue, I think we’ll see it affects a lot more users that Apple is letting on. Remember, most people who have an irritating computer hardware problem - such as some glitchy keys - will just put up w…

The latest MacBooks are not designed to type on - they exist to be admired for their beautiful design and svelte form. If your butterfly keyboard fails you have only yourself to blame - you should not have pressed the keys. Remember, “Look, don’…

NEWS FLASH! The year is 2023 and Apple has released the 16th version of its Butterfly keyboard. The company promises that ‘this time we really have fixed it, by incorporating a super-duper membrane made from tiny Amazonian butterflies, whose wings d…

RealDavidGurney said: What a pile of apologist crap. Right now I have a 10-year-old Apple Bluetooth keyboard (A1314) sitting on top of my top-of-the-line MBP's keyboard so I can actually work. The key travel from that era is exactly where Ap…

Not sure why this article is so long-winded. The facts are simple. 1. There clearly is a widespread problem with the butterfly keyboards. 2. It occurred because Apple prioritised thinness over functionality. 3. The lack of key travel makes them un…

“The keyboard feel is "very close" to the third-generation of the keyboard, and the key travel is identical.” You’ve got to be kidding Apple! The ‘feel’ and ‘travel’ of the current keyboard are atrocious. How can you keep churning out the same terr…

From my experiences though, most talks about the butterfly keyboard I've found so far are way hypocritical. I'll say it's more a love-hate relationship because when it works it's great. Key travel is enough once you adjusted your typing style…

A keyboard that actually works would be a big step towards social responsibility, Mr Ive.

Instead of prioritising the repairs, Apple should be prioritising the complete redesign of these atrociously bad keyboards.

The main factor now driving Apple profitability is the software (iOS, MacOS), not the hardware. Apple’s hardware is being destroyed by a ‘design extremism’ that prioritises thinness and minimalism over functionality. This results in faulty keyboar…

I hope this rumour is true. I don’t trust Face ID because it bombards my retinas with infrared laser dots (which can’t be healthy). I much prefer the good old fashioned home button on my iPhone 8. It feels good to touch, is super quick and helps me…

There is absolutely no point in releasing a new MacBook Pro, unless Apple gets rid of their atrocious butterfly keyboards. It's not rocket science Apple. Just revert to the older style (non-butterfly) keyboards that were... 1. Universally loved 2.…
