The Air has a perfectly sane keyboard.

Yeah, if only I could get the 16" Pro with the keyboard of the Air. I need a bit more cpu power and ram than the Air can offer sadly.

Eh, my mid-2015 MBP with an i7-4780HQ and 16gb of memory will do for now. I occasionally bump into the memory limit but hopefully I can hold out until a fully sane keyboard is an option.

Either that or hacklapintosh it

Doesn't the 16" Pro have the new keyboard? Or are there multiple new keyboards around?
I have the 16" and the keyboard is glorious. I came from a 2015 MBP 15" and the keyboard feel is almost the same.
I use both the 16" and the 2020 Air, the keyboards feel identical to me.
I assume you're talking about the latest Air? I have the 2018 model and the keyboard is awful. Awkward to type on and it frequently registers single key presses as double-presses (or, sometimes, no press at all).
The air didn't get the good keyboard until this year.
