As annoying as it is, I REALLY hope they don't get rid of the butterfly keyboard. It's superior in every way for typing, ease of fingers, speed, etc. The one problem is the annoyance of stuck keys sometimes but I just buy canned air and fix it the second it happens and it keeps it OK.


Uh, “superiority” is clearly in the eye of the beholder. I hate it, the super-short travel literally makes my fingers hurt. It’s like tapping on a brick. Without an external keyboard, I would have thrown away this machine after a week.


Make sure you're not talking about butterfly v1 (which was awful, like typing on a piece of wood). V2 is where it's at


Mine is the MBPR late 2016 model, which I believe is v2 (v1 being the first one-usbC macbook).


The keyboard of my 2015 Macbook is the worse for typing I had from Apple - by far - and I had a lot of Apple laptops and keyboards.

The keyboard of my 2012 Macbook Air feels like a huge upgrade.


You probably have butterfly V1, which was awful. You need to try butterfly v2


Except noise, please get rid of the noise.
