Apple may soon give up on one of its most maddening design changes. The new MacBook keyboard will revert to the sturdier, clickier keys of old, a prominent analyst reports.
MacBooks since 2015 have featured a"butterfly" keyboard mechanism that saves about a millimeter of space from older designs — a big deal when Apple's thinnest laptops are just 13 millimeters tall. But the butterfly keys had some critical flaws: They were easily broken. The keys traveled less than traditional keyboards, so typers weren't confident the computer registered each keystroke. And dust and grit could get underneath the keys, rendering them useless.
The company is reportedly planning on introducing a new MacBook Air later this year with a traditional"scissor" keyboard, according to prominent Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of TF International Securities, who has a strong track record of predicting Apple innovations. He said Apple will put the new keyboards in MacBook Pro computers when the company refreshes that lineup next year. 9to5Mac first reported the coming change.Most keyboards use a hinge that looks like a scissor.
