>> butterfly keyboards are amazing once you get used to it

Curious - what makes them so "amazing"?

Speaking only for myself-- going back to the 80s, there has only ever been one keyboard that I've ever used that I couldn't get used to (Surface Pro Touch keyboard). For all the others, once I got used to them, I never really felt like one was better than another, just different.

I don't know about the Apple ones, but I've definitely got keyboards of different qualities. Right now, I'm on a Lenovo that was built for classroom use. They keys have a nice travel distance, and a bit of click then they trigger. It makes it comfortable to type on. I've also got an HP Envy. The keypresses are shallower, the first tactile indication that you've triggered the key is when it hits bottom, and the edges of the keys aren't rounded as nicely.

I know that one hurts my fingers after typing for a few hours, and the other one is pretty comfortable after that same time.
