Apple has yet to give up the butterfly keyboard on MacBook but is it a good idea to improve and bring it back?

Tram Ho

According to experts, Apple is secretly improving the structure of the keyboard and ensuring it does not stop working if a dust or foreign object is stuck under the keyboard.

When Apple first launched the MacBook line in 2015, it switched to a butterfly keyboard mechanism. Despite all the fancy words Apple has for it, this is an awful Apple keyboard mechanism. It is unstable and can stop working as soon as a speck of dust enters the keyboard.

Apple has tried several times to fix this keyboard problem through many Mac upgrades but failed. Finally, after a series of modifications, the company decided to switch to the Magic keyboard on the MacBook line starting with the 16-inch MacBook Pro model launched in late 2019.

As of now, all MacBooks are using the new Magic keyboard mechanism, which provides better typing and key travel without any problems during operation.

The butterfly keyboard problem is so bad that Apple had to launch a free butterfly keyboard repair program for all MacBook models using this keyboard type in the middle of last year. The program applies to all MacBook models with a butterfly keyboard for a period of 4 years from the date of purchase.

However, the regulations for free repairs are not simple. Users will need to prove the MacBook is having a real problem with the butterfly keyboard.

The butterfly keyboard has become an unforgettable “shame” for Apple and the MacBook brand. Even if Apple proactively solves that problem for customers, bringing this keyboard mechanism back might be a bad idea for now because users no longer trust the keyboard. .
