How is the MacBook’s keyboard not like other keyboards?
The MacBook features an entirely new keyboard style for Apple. The biggest change is with its look. Previous Apple laptops have featured keyboards with keys that are wide at the base, but narrower at the top. As a result, even though there are fairly large spaces between the square areas where your fingers contact the keys, there are only tiny gaps down at the base of the keys. This new MacBook keyboard does away with that approach. The MacBook’s keys don’t get wider at their base. Instead, they’re short, perfectly square key caps—although you can still pop them off if you want to, Apple says it’ll be harder for kids to do so, which is a good news for schools. Although the feel of the MacBook’s keyboard is hard to describe, it’s definitely different . However, it’s quite usable, and we adapted to the new keyboard almost immediately. It doesn’t feel cheap at all—just different.
