I completely disagree. I think the current MBP keyboard is one of the most satisfying laptop keyboards I've ever typed on. The minimal travel takes some time to get used to but I love how tactile it is. This is coming from someone that spends most of their time typing on Cherry MX green or clear switches.

Agreed. It's the opposite of the fashionable mechanical keys--tactile yet requires minimal muscle contraction. It's almost a breeze to type on. I find my Macbook's keyboard very satisfying to use, with only one caveat: the up/down arrow keys can be indistinguishable to the fingertip. Making them like the F and J keys would be perfect.
