I felt the same way until my butterfly keyboard gradually stopped working and I went back to my old 2014 MBP keyboard, and realized I had developed Stockholm Syndrome. If you haven't already, try switching back to the old (or new) scissor keys and see if you still feel the same.


Agreed - I used the 2017 model for a couple years and no complaints about the feel, just the non-working keys. But I didn’t realize that my typing had gotten slower and less precise.

I switched to the X1C7 and will prioritize key travel and response from now on.


I don’t mind the travel but I do mind my broken command key, very wobbly keys and double entries.


I had one of the butterfly keyboards at work and an old one at home. I still feel like the butterfly keyboard felt crisper and faster to type on. I never dealt with any issues with the butterfly keyboard, but I only used it about a year.


I have a 2017 for work and a 2015 personal so I use both every day. The 2015 feels mushy compared to the 2017’s clicky.
