Ya but thats completely different from a keyboard issue and the whole point of this video wad to talk about the keyboard not a screen issue or all the other infinite issues with apple and their macbook. Apple is literally so trash after steve jobs died that all the other companoes have either caught up to or surpassed apple in every way other than the UI which may i point out, was basically made.by steve jobs (it might have been changed over the years but the main base of it is still the same). I honestly hate apple now and i think a lot of pple agree with me other than the rich spoiled kids who cant do anything other than waste their money on phones $1000+. Also anyone else loyal to apple literally have notches for their hairline and only obsess over apple which is their only life. Im sorry, but the only reason apple was successful was because of the mastermind himself steve jobs who is no longer alive meaning apple should also no longer be alive. U literally need to pay for everything external like hesdphones, dongles, and so much more.

Apple needs to go back to using engineers instead of “designers” who seem to think that we are willing to sacrifice reliability for thinness. And don’t even think about “repairability”. I have been using Apple products for over 15 years, so I am not an Apple “hater” but they will pry my 2015 MacBook Pro from my cold dead fingers. Meanwhile I will rely on a Pixelbook for everyday carry. The Pixelbook is just as thin but has the very best keyboard I have ever used on a laptop. And even much cheaper Chromebooks have managed to have satisfactory keyboards so why can’t Apple engineer a keyboard at least as good as a Chromebook that sells for 1/4 the price?

Very nice keyboard, unless you like to eat while typing. I usually have lunch in front of my computer, breadcrumbs and even small food particles can get stuck beneath the keys, even my own hair. Right now I'm having troubles with the W key, it's a bit stuck, not completely yet. But I don't really see that as the main issue. Main issue is that it's hard to clean, you can easily break the key notches if you try to detach the key in order to clean it. I had the Macbook Pro 2015, I used to detach most of the keys once in a while when they got dirty, it was straightforward. I've broken a couple of butterfly keys while trying to clean them up.

After being unable to fully fix the issue by unclipping keys and cleaning things out, I ordered a replacement keyboard, for not much money. I easily switched the keyboards over, and it has worked perfectly ever since. Simple swap in replacement keyboards is something you can't do on mac books and this is why, when there are issues, they can be product destroying.

It's designed to work on a desk people, a clean one lol. I just can't believe they got rid of this amazing keyboard design. I'm keeping my 2018 MBP just for that.

[@analdelrey249]

i hate how it feels, but the breaking/sticky keys was astounding. as someone who still has and is using the macbook pro 2017, i’ve never had problems with the keyboard. i’m guessing people use their macbooks as plates, lol.

[@ryanalencar]

Hello, how is going on with the keyboard?

[@superbowyiming]

Oh boi... Laptops ARE for OURDOOR, especially ones like Air. Why couldn't I just use PC if a CLEAN desk is compulsory for the device to work? Plus it's cheaper and would have a much better keyboard.

[@bruhmoment7801]

Ouch didn't realize the keys were that bad. Glad they started using scissor switches again.

[@r3dp1ll]

Great job filming with the butterfly

[@JohnFrancisPorter]

lenovo x1 has the best keyboard for a slim-form-factor high performance laptop.

i'm hp user, through this video i finally i got an idea what's butterfly keyboards. GREAT EXPLAINATION😍

[@bkackman]

Good report. Come on Apple. You're better than this. I laughed so hard when you briefly had the butterfly outfit on and declared you're not doing that. Classic. Thank you.

[@theweirdospfan.28]

Now the butterfly keyboard is dead and thankfully put to rest

[@robertktw]

switched to Lenovo X1 Extreme, been happy with that keyboard ^^

[@CaptainShorif]

Am I the only person ever to actually like the butterfly keyboard? I've never had a problem with the keys and I personally enjoy typing on it over my magic keyboard.

[@samirkumar9908]

You had 3rd gen or 4th gen butterfly keys?

Agreed, haven't updated my 2013 MacBook pro due to the new keyboard alone, keyboard still works great!

I love the keys on my 2019 MacBook Air... they’re so nice to type with. I’ve only had it since Christmas though

[@rizvified]

How is it going now? They updated the materials in 2019 saying it will be more durable

[@mqryann4651]

@@rizvifiedsometimes when i use a certain key too much, it gets stuck and doesn't work well for some time (takes more force to press on it). My friend has the macbook 2020, and I prefer her macbook's keys. I feel like mine are too flat, decreasing my typing speed.

[@rizvified]

@@mqryann4651 So no breakage of keys yet as was the case with Butterfly keys Gen 1 and Gen 2?

[@RodIanBulong001]

OMG! I'm experiencing this right now ... my macbook air left command key is not that smooth when I press it. I guess there's something underneath that it literally annoying every time I press it.

[@richfi9576]

everybody at Apple who was involved in the creation of this abysmal keyboard, and the totally useless TouchBar, should be fired at least

[@gskv3331]

i quite liked the keys and clicky feel

[@ryanalencar]

Hay, how is going on with the keyboard?

[@mlmoreno75]

My fingers are now happy with my Lenovo X1 Carbon keyboard. Was with Mac for 5 years, and they lost me as a customer.

[@rockinginafreeworld3256]

What can you do about it? No 1. Don’t buy one. No 2 . Don’t buy one. No 3. Don’t buy one. No 4 . Don’t buy one.

[@borgir80]

Oh, and you can't use that macbook stand neither. Opening the lid more than 90 degrees can trigger the flex gate.

[@ProckerDark]

you are using macbook wrong, no one needs to open their macbook past 90 angle

[@pellegew]

that at least was fixed in recent models with a longer cable

It it just me because I love the newer generation butterfly keyboards. I barely have problems with my Mac, but only tend to occasionally flip it over to remove crumbs and dust. (Macbook Pro 2019 User)

[@blurrl]

Fun + well informed is the best combo :D

[@drippyfool]

How to fix your Macbook Pro: 1) throw it out 2) buy a real laptop

[@HenrikoMagnifico]

You should've gone to Louis Rossmann to repair it

[@NexXxus86]

agreed

[@sasidharan4460]

No butterflies were harmed during the making of this video.

[@dolbyprologicii]

i bought my macbook just before butterfly keys were being implemented.... boy i was super lucky lol im no longer using apple for my next laptop

[@Kirokill1]

I have butterfly keyboard and those issues were very short term for me. After one year and now my macbook is 7 years I've never experienced these problems again. I was very surprised by the sentiment against it. It's very comfortable for me to type with now.

[@issataylorsavage3406]

I guess it’s just me who loves the keyboard 😮😂🤷🏽‍♀️

[@st.peterfuneral2981]

If you have a MacBook with butterfly keyboard, just put a keyboard cover to prevent dust getting in it but if it still breaks, take it to the nearest apple store.

[@alyxbruno-bamford8414]

Number 4 is the best. In fact you should do number 4 with every apple device

[@reddyyy5634]

Nah

[@mintylith]

i really like the butterfly keyboard. obviously, without any of the problems that came with it, it's actually really nice to type on. each to their own.
