It's super clacky, there's no key travel, and it's hard to blindly feel the edges of the keys. There's also no escape key.

The 2018 keyboard is much less clacky than the 2016 one but the travel is the same. I’m glad most of my typing is on an external keyboard anyway.

I don’t have a problem with Esc being on the Touch Bar because it’s the leftmost target and nothing is that close to it. Maybe I’d feel differently if I was a regular vi user.

The key travel is very important. When you can type 140+ Words per minute key travel becomes important to stop rsi in the wrist.

Sounds like my old Atari 400, except it did have Esc.
