  • Hats Keycaps off to this teardown!

  • Spoiler alert: no butterfly keys in this net, just Apple's fancy new scissor mechanism.

  • At first glance this looks like the same mechanism found in the 2015 MacBook.

  • However, according to Apple, they've actually reengineered the scissor mechanism to increase stability and improve key travel. By our best measurements, the new design offers a whopping 1 mm travel distance and totally flat keypresses—or something.

  • Looks like desktop users will have to wait for the Magic Keyboard 2 for the butterfly effect key.
