Were there negative things said about the keyboard? I was playing around with the new MBP's in the Apple Store last week and I found the keyboards to be fantastic. I was actually surprised because I bought the family an iMac for Christmas and I really don't like the new wireless keyboards. The whole thing feels cheep in part because the keys feel poorly seated.

I guess there are just segments of people that disagree then. I find the new MBP keyboard abhorrent. The keys are too shallow, and they have far too little give; you're literally typing on a hard plastic surface. I love going home in the evening and getting my Thinkpad's keyboard, even though I'm not really a fan of that keyboard.
This is why I recommend that anyone wanting to purchase a MBP visit the Apple store and type on one. Maybe it won't bother you, but it bothers me, hence, I think folks should try it before they buy it, and Apple makes that fairly easy to do.

My biggest complaint is how inconsistent the butterfly switches are. Some days the keys don't want to pop back up all the way, the keys feel/sound different, they're easily made 'sticky'...
Best case the keyboard feels great but a day later and it feels terrible.
