I really don't understand how people have fooled themselves into thinking this is in any way an acceptable way to live. My poor fingers felt like the sleep-deprived princess in the Princess and the Pea, just typing on boulders. There wasn't any semblance of feedback, just a dull, uncomfortable thud. The keys were so shallow, I felt like I bottomed out as soon as I pressed a key. I started on the 15-inch MacBook Pro with butterfly switches and immediately regretted my decision to take part in this exercise. So it goes without saying that I wasn't the most enthused to be taking part in this challenge. They would like to swap my beloved work laptop for the butterfly-switch-laden monstrosity that is the 2016 MacBook Pro.
I'm currently in a battle with the IT department to keep this beauty just because of the keyboard. It's springy with nice travel and has just the right amount of clickiness (scissor switches for life!). At work, I'm stubbornly holding on to my 15-inch MacBook Pro from mid-2015. Let's be clear: I'm not a fan of either of the current MacBook Pros's keyboards.
I constantly felt like I was bottoming out on the 15-inch MacBook Pro's keyboard, whereas the 16-inch model's keys were so clicky that I couldn't believe it was a MacBook. I blasted through 74 wpm on the typing test with the 16-inch MacBook Pro's keyboard, which was slightly faster than the 72 wpm I hit with the 15-inch model.
