		camgunz on April 1, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: The MacBook keyboard fiasco is surely worse than A... There have been a ton of bananas sales on MBPs and MBAs with the new keyboard, but I never even entertained the fantasy of buying one because this keyboard is completely unusable. Everything else is tolerable: bendgate, magsafe, no usb-a, giganto trackpad, half battery life. But I just really, really need a quality keyboard. I need it to work (incredible that I need to say this), and I need it to not destroy my fingers, hands, and wrists. Frankly, buy a Razer (Blade or Stealth, either one). They're the new top of the line IMO, and have been for years.

Have you tested the Blade's mechanical keyboard by any chance?

Razer got me tempted with that one.

Yeah I found one at a best buy. It was perfectly adequate, no x220 keyboard certainly, but very acceptable. Caveat, I used it for like 5 minutes.
