I honestly find MBP trackpads to be too big, which is admittedly a preference thing, but their keyboards are absolutely horrible, and I have difficulty understanding how anyone could think they were "great". There's not enough distinguishing keys from each other, so I can't ground myself to the home row. I can't think of many keyboards I've used throughout my life that I enjoy less than the MBP. And that's not even mentioning the quality issues (duplicated or broken keys), or the lack of Fn keys.

Are you talking about the butterfly (2016-2019) keyboards or the new magic keyboard OP (2020) was talking about?

I was talking about the butterfly keyboards. I don't see anything in the comment I replied to that really lines up with what you're saying.

>A great keyboard (seems to be fixed now)

The "fixed now" part is the replacement of the Butterfly keyboard across Apple's laptop (and even the iPad docks!) lineup

You might be right, though if so that would also imply they thought it was great before it was fixed, and I still disagree with that.
