Apple's butterfly switch - take three
Posted: 08 Nov 2018, 00:14
Hello chaps, greetings from Berlin,
As a long-term MacBook Air user, I like many, have been waiting for this day. The MacBook Air 2018, I got one this evening.
The KB is obviously shit... I've tried other butterfly switches in the MB12 range and felt they were terrible. BUT these machines were not mine, so testing is difficult. I've spent the evening setting up the new unit and while my dodgy wrist aches a little, the KB is OK. Time will tell of course. I certainly like the sound it makes, almost thock like, though nothing like the HHKBPro2Type S this post is being written with. I hope that most of the time, I'll use an external KB with the MBA... esp. in the office.
Would be interested to hear from MBP users, how is the KB holding up after months of use? Should I be keeping the KB tray extra clean, to try and minimize dust?
Thanks and good night.
