I love the TouchBar as well - it would be perfect from my perspective if they had kept the Escape key.

That is literally my only gripe with it

I would like you to be able to buy a laptop with the TouchBar. However, I would like to be able to buy a laptop without one.

I wish Apple sold MBPs without a touchbar just so I could stop hearing about it in every single thread.

You’re in a thread about Apple keyboards. However, I am confident you could find a thread elsewhere that isn’t discussing TouchBars.

This one perhaps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20531955

There’s tools out there like BetterTouchTool and I imagine several others than allow you to do this and more.

BTT cannot add a physical Escape key.

Since it seems like we’re already near tongue-in-cheek but still functional: it doesn’t need to; there’s a perfectly good oversized one sitting at the left end of the home row. If you’d like, you can even make it both Escape (by itself) and Control (when used in combination with another key).
