Apple has come with some better changes in their keyboard.
The adoption of a scissor-mechanism keyboard after replacing the butterfly-mechanism one is very interesting. There were some typing issues with the butterfly keyboard which needed to be solved. The scissor-type keyboard has blurred all those odds and holds an ability to light up anyone’s typing mood. Besides all these, the key travels a distance of 1 mm which results in smooth clicking and further enhances the zeal for working on it.
