I miss the 0.7mm travel. Less work for the fingers. Faster typing. Too bad they couldn't make it reliable.

I know it's completely subjective, but I'm currently on a work provided 2018 mac with the 0.7mm travel and I despise it. I have far, far more typing errors on this keyboard than I do on pretty much anything else.
I'm excited to try the new 1mm keyboard.

Same, I use a mechanical keyboard at my desk, and being forced to use the laptop keyboard would drive me insane. I spilt coffee on it and ended up upgrading to a 2020 Pro which (to me) is just barely bearable.

You spilt coffee on purpose for an upgrade? :)

I certainly don't miss the feeling of typing on concrete. I suppose a very light fingered typist might appreciate the reduced travel though.

Typing on concrete - that's exactly right. I got awful RSI from the butterfly keyboard on my 2018 15-inch MBP. I had used previous MacBooks for nearly a decade with no problems.

I actually thought the old butterfly keys were fine back when I was using them, but after getting an M1 2020 mbp, going back is HORRIBLE

Yes! Thought I was the only one. It was slick, good-looking, and typing was a breeze on those.
But it was super-problematic and had mine broken multiple times over the years. If they could make 0.7mm butterfly reliable, that would have been awesome.
