> I bought an M1 Max that is now almost 4 years old and it still feels new to me.

How are the keycaps doing? Mine looked awful after about 2 years of relatively light use, developing really obvious ugly shiny patches (particularly bad on the space bar), quite a letdown on an otherwise great machine.

(Realised that you can actually buy replacements and swap them yourself, via the self-service repair store, so have replaced them once, but am starting to notice shiny patches again on the new set)

Still better than the butterfly debacle of 2016-2019. I have one for work that spends 99.9% of its life docked to a real keyboard and it still has keys that only work sporadically. Some of these keys probably have < 10,000 actuations on them.

Not OP but have the same Mac. Every key is shiny. Doesn't really bother me though because I touch type. Also clearly I favor hitting space with my right hand because only the right side is shiny.

If you have AppleCare they will basically rebuild your MacBook for ~$200. I got MBP M1 Max usb ports and top case replaced and a bunch of other stuff I didn’t even ask for but they replaced with new stuff. Felt like a new machine when I got it back.
