This is such a sad statement about the quality of today's laptop keyboards. Of the laptops I can remember using the keyboard on the Thinkpad 701C "butterfly" was superior to that on the T20 and T42 in terms of key shape and stroke, and the T42 is superior to the X60. The keyboards on the (work-issued) Macbook Air 2012 and Macbook Pro 2013 are garbage by comparison.

In my more conspiracy-minded moments, I conclude that the overall trend towards garbage keyboards even on high-end machines is long-game industry collusion to force us all, eventually, into pure-touchscreen interfaces.

I glimpse the future every time I use my smartphone, and it is stupid.
