2019 16" no longer used the butterfly keyboard, they have a physical Esc key and something Apple called "magic keyboard", really a scissor based mechanism that's really pleasant to type on and doesn't stop working with a tiny bit of dust under the cap.

2019 MBP mostly fixed the issues introduced in 2016. But lack of USB and HDMI was enough for me to pass on it. Also, the 2015 one is prettier.
Ah I miss the lit up Apple logo.
Yeah I would definitely miss that, as well as the shape.
The new magic keyboard or new scissor keyboard has a key travel of 1mm, for me I wouldn't describe it as really pleasant.
