I know I’m in the minority but I really love my work 2019 MBP’s butterfly keyboard. I’m a very light typist, maybe that’s why, I dunno. I’ll miss it when it’s gone. I have a personal M1 MBP, and while I like it more in almost every other way, the keyboard is just ok by comparison.

I didn't realize anyone actually liked those! Thanks for sharing.

As someone with a very particular keyboard preference (Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Desktop), I know what it's like to find that one keyboard you finally mesh with. It's tough when that happens to be built in to a laptop.

At least there'll probably be a lot of those flooding the used markets soon...

I loved the feel of the keyboard (contrary to some) but durability and redundancy were god-awful.

I'm in the same camp as the two of you!

Sure, I've had mine replaced 5 times, but I love the actuation/feel of the keys. It was/is light years ahead of any other 2mm or less keyboard I've tried.

I'm legitimately considering buying an M2 Macbook Pro 13 so I can have the final iteration.

Aside from the reliability.. For me the step was too fast too quickly. I skipped one generation of laptops, so for me it felt really weird. I think that right now I'd like it. But if they'd re-introduce it, I'd simply refuse to buy for a few years because of the issues.
