What don't you like about the keyboard? It's quiet, low profile, easy to type on quickly, lights up... not sure what else you'd want.
that is a problem
not really, doesn't have a clear pressure point, so leads to keys not registering surprisingly often. I also get pain in my hands if I'm working on it for several hours.
I only can do something like 70-80 WPM on that, on a proper keyboard I'm doing slightly above 100.
Don't care about that.
Additionally half the useful keys (pgup/pgdown/end/home/insert/delete/...) are hidden behind FN combinations.
Are you trying to press the keys as lightly as possible or something? Just hit them until they bottom out, it's like 0.1mm more travel than their actuation point.
Pretty much the opposite, I'm usually either typing on a buckling spring keyboard, or on one with Kailh Box Navy switches - which requires quite a bit of force, and both have quite a bit of travel.
Everyone’s different. I type 8h+/day on my 2019 (Intel) pro, and if I’m writing text as opposed to code I’m hitting 130wpm consistently and accurately. I’m not a small guy either; it’s hard to find gloves that fit me.
I can’t stand most laptop keyboards and the old butterfly design was awful, but the current gen Mac keyboards are pretty good for me.
