What do you mean by horrible?

I've done A LOT of typing on this, no changes yet. I'm hoping it stays that way ;P

Some keys that "feel" different than others, some keys that occasionally get stuck (double-press or no-press), and some keys also sound different than others.

The whole keyboard was just a mess in just over a year, and it is not like I abused the machine. I only use it at a desk (either at home or at office) and don't eat at my desk (or do other activities that might cause excessive dirt to come close to the keyboard).

My 2015 keyboard (and all other keyboards I've ever owned) are all still fine. I've never experienced keyboard degradation like this.

The funny thing is... it isn't even the only one. Others I've tried had the same problem.

Do note that I don't disliked the keyboard when it was new. I thought it was just fine. I liked the clicky-ness and it felt like I could type on it pretty fast. The keyboard just got bad pretty fast. Going back to the 2015 model, I hated the 2015 keys as well for a while, for being so "mushy". At least they work great, and the "mushyness" I got used to pretty fast.

And I <3 my USB-A/HDMI ports. I hate donglelife... I have 0 USB-C devices
