Apple currently uses a buttery switch keyboard on its wide range of notebooks, and they have stirred a wave of controversy these past couple of months. Possibly to increase the longevity of its MacBook Air refresh and its 2020 MacBook Pro, Apple could use a scissor switch keyboard, potentially waving goodbye to its butterfly mechanism. Whether or not the new design is expected to increase the pricing of the upcoming notebooks is up for a later debate. Right now, let us dive deep into the specifics of this new line of info.

According to a report from Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple is expected to roll out a new keyboard design, replacing the butterfly switch mechanism in the process. The scissor switch keyboard has been reported to offer two primary advantages over the current design; increased durability and longer key travel. When Apple first introduced the butterfly keyboard mechanism, a significant number of reviewers stated that while they got used to this new design, they didn’t particularly enjoy it, and eventually adapting to the new layout definitely took some time.
