Linux touchpad like a MacBook Pro, May 2020 update

What's wrong with PC laptop keyboards?

I have a £200 Linx14 laptop and the keyboard is identical to my Apple keyboard (the wireless white keyboard, external). Sure, the Mac one bounces a bit more but there's no difference.

What is wrong with PC laptop keyboards?

Most of them are just garbage. At least that one doesn't have a numpad.

Have you tried an actual MacBook Pro keyboard? The external keyboards aren't quite the same.

Yes, I have a 2012 and a 2016 MacBook Pro. The 2016 keyboard feels horrible and loud and the backlight on it is very bad. The 2012 is very good.

The 2016 keyboard actually feels worse to me than my £200 laptop keyboard. The cheapo laptop has decent travel and isn't deafening to use.

Yeah, the 2015-2018/19 macbook pros have that butterfly keyboard. Fortunately Apple has come to their senses with their newest iteration.
