| - | [* black] Magic v Magic |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Scissor mechanisms are nearly identical, old Magic scissor is slightly thicker (1.6 vs 1.38 mm) |
| - | [* black] So identical that we wonder what would happen if we mixed Magics ... |

| - | [* black] This is a 2015 magic keyboard keycap on a 2019 magic MacBook pro keyboard and scissor, it works! |
| - | [* black] The old Magic key is just slightly smaller and taller than the new ones. It also wasn't built for backlighting. |
| - | [* black] We're also unsure if the wider keys are interchangeable. Nevertheless, this opens up to crazy neat keyboard mods! |
| + | [* black] With the new scissor switch out of its home, it's time for some comparisons. That's right, it's ~~wizard's duel~~ Magic competition time. |
| + | [* black] From the top, the two scissor mechanisms are nearly identical. The old Magic scissor is ever-so-slightly thicker (1.6 vs 1.38 mm). |
| + | [* icon_note] 0.22 mm may not seem like much, but no doubt a lot of engineering went into the recreation of this slender new scissor switch. |
| + | [* black] Despite the width thickness though, they really do look the same ... so much so that we wonder what would happen if we mixed Magics ... |
| + | [* black] *Heavenly chorus* [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Creation_of_Adam|The Creation of Magic] |
| + | [* black] Yes, what you're looking at is a 2015 white Magic keyboard keycap on a 16'' MacBook pro keyboard and scissor. It works! |
| + | [* black] The old Magic command key is smaller (hence the larger gap between the key and the keyboard deck) and thicker than the new one. |
| + | [* black] Not every single key is interchangeable, and the old Magic keys don't have transparent lettering for the backlight, but welcome, MacBook, to the keyboard modding community! |
