| [* black] Stage 1 cleared! Onto stage 2: the sand test of DOOM. | |
| [* black] We sprinkle some sand over the keyboard, type on the keys for a minute, and... | |
| [* black] We didn't even have to lift the keycaps off to realize that something was wrong. A few keys have seized up! | |
| [* black] Prying the keycaps off, we find that grains of sand have invaded through the corner holes in the silicone barrier and have jammed the butterfly mechanism. | |
| - | [* black] The good news is that the keycaps seem to be sturdier and less prone to breakage. You can probably salvage keys from previous generation keyboards, and there are rumors that Apple will be releasing a keyboard kit. |
| - | [* black] The bad news is that the silicon barrier resisted, but could not prevent keys from jamming. Plus, it's ''even more impossible'' to remove offending particulates with the barrier.. |
| + | [* black] The silicon barrier adds a layer of ingress resistance, but falls short of being ~~bulletproof~~ dustproof. Plus, now it's ''even more impossible'' to remove offending particulates. |
