It has so little travel (like < 1mm) that it feels like typing on an iPad, and there are shitstorms of complaints on the Internet that tiny particles of dust get under the keys and then either a key doesn't work or it enters 2 characters when hit just once.

I don't have the latter problem (but here's s random one: https://theoutline.com/post/2402/the-new-macbook-keyboard-is...) but the consensus seems to be that the feel of the keyboard is shit.

I agree and I far prefer the previous generation of MBP keyboard, but a.) it is actually just chiclet shit too, you have to go back many years (maybe to the PowerBook machines?) to find an Apple laptop with a truly great keyboard, and b.) it sucks enough that if I have to use this machine at home or work, I always plug in an external mechanical keyboard so... uh, problem solved? :-/
