| - | [* black] [https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/07/that-new-keyboard-is-the-key-to-apples-macbook-update/|Rumor|new_window=true] has it that the keyboard on the new MacBook feels better than the last one. Lets take a look under the keys and see what's new! |
|---|---|
| - | [* black] Looks like Apple listened to complaints about the keyboard feedback and appears to have made a couple changes. Comparing to the the rose gold MacBook of yesteryear, we can see: |
| - | [* black] The mechanical button that detects the keystroke is a little more, well, button-y. |
| - | [* black] The plastic butterfly mechanism appears to have thinned out to accomodate the new switch form factor. |
| + | [* black] [https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/07/that-new-keyboard-is-the-key-to-apples-macbook-update/|Rumor|new_window=true] has it that the second gen butterfly mechanism inherited from the Pro makes this MacBook way more usable—so what's inside? |
| + | [* black] Comparing the space gray "new" keyboard to the rose gold MacBook of yesteryear, we can see: |
| + | [* black] The mechanical switch that detects the keystroke is a simpler rounder dome, not the fancy 'x' shape it once was. |
| + | [* black] The plastic butterfly mechanism also accommodates the new switch, swapping to a new, slightly thinner frame. |
| + | [* black] While not really a mechanical change, the control and option keys got some new ink. They now mark keyboard shortcuts rather than translating for PC users. |
