Future buyers of a Macbook, you are finally safe from the problematic butterfly keyboard. With the launch yesterday of the new MacBook Pro of 13 inches Apple put End of a saga that started in 2015 with the Macbook of 12 inches, and that has brought many headaches to those of Cupertino .
The transition started last fall with the release of MacBook Pro from 16 inches came to an end yesterday with the launch of the only model that did not have Magic Keyboard yet, following in the footsteps of the MacBook Air, introduced in March along with the new iPad Pro and its new keyboard, also with a scissor mechanism.
This means that finally anyone who is going to get a team of Apple on their website can freely choose the team they want without having to worry about whether their keyboard will give any problem.
There are still equipment for sale
Although Apple no longer includes any device in its product line with this technology we are only safe from avoiding a device with a butterfly keyboard if we refer to new purchases in the Apple Store , both physically and online, since there are still equipment with this technology among the reconditioned Apple, as well as other vendors such as Amazon.
A mechanism that should have disappeared years ago
The butterfly keyboard was a clear example of how tough the product design is. While this mechanism has allowed to create thinner Macbooks with a faster response thanks to its shorter travel , in return it has turned out to be much less reliable than the previous scissor system, which offered a very rewarding writing experience.

As it is such a thin mechanism for pulsation, this was susceptible to any dust particle that entered it , preventing the pressure action from taking place full or key return once pressed. In addition, being such fine pieces, on many occasions they ended up breaking the mechanism when they wanted to repair it.
An express repair program for this problem
After stating that only a few units were affected by the butterfly keyboard problem, finally in 2018 Apple was forced to launch a repair program for Macbook keyboards , dating back to 2015 and Macbook of 12 inches. Not enough with this, even models released after the creation of the repair program had to be added to the list of products that entered it, making it clear that there was no other alternative than to use another keyboard mechanism.
Despite the fact that the affected Macbooks no longer have any other solution than to go through the repair program in the case of being affected, and this does not guarantee that it will not happen again, at least we can be calm as to future teams respects, the butterfly keyboard is definitely dead.
