I hear you about Apple breaking things.

But we disagree on the keyboard. I'd say that all their mobile keyboards past 2015 are utter crap, and I'd wager that this can technically be measured in breakage, dust sensitivity, typing comfort and typing performance.

Since they switched back from the awful butterfly mechanism to scissors, their keyboards have been perfectly fine for me.

Yes, they are better for going back.

No, that's not going to do. I don't even live in a town. There are literally rafts (barns) all over where I live.

I can not escape sand. And a single speck is all it takes.

To poke a hole in the screen. To disable a key.

That's not good design.

I still prefer my 2015 MBP keyboard to the 2021 one. It’s honestly crazy that they somehow regressed on this given so much time passed.

Yeah, those were 99% awesome. If they were spill-drained they would be 100% awesome.
