I want an X1C now!
Gotta say that my X220 keyboard is still the best I've typed on but I do really like the newer ThinkPad keyboards as well. I have a X260 from work and it's just such a joy to write and code on. Very satisfying typing experience.
The older Macbooks aren't too bad in terms of key travel, I have an old 2013 MBP and the keyboard on that is fine, but the thing that bothers me about it is the actual metal chassin. It's so rough on the wrists because of the sharp edges, it really digs into my wrists especially if the table is a little higher. No such problems with Thinkpads. Plus the metal chassin on the older models is heavy af.
The newer MBPs are TERRIBLE to type on, absolutely 100% agree. I haven't had the chance to try the new 16" MBP but agree that it's a real shame the typing experience actually is getting worse the thinner they're making these things.
I recently had a chance to try out most of the ThinkPad lineup in a local computer shop. I tried the X1C, X1CE, T490s, X390, E-series, Yoga etc. and out of all of those I think I really enjoyed the T490s the most because of how light it is overall but they still manage to keep the keyboard feeling really nice and have a nice 14" display. Granted I did like the X1C keys a little bit more but I cannot stand the soft rubbery feel of the chassin and how fingerprint and dust magnet it is. Would drive me bonkers. Txxs seems to be the sweet spot for me.
I'm really nervous about the possible 2020 version of the T series, especially the slim model. I honestly don't want it to get any more slimmer if it means they're going to have to start cutting down on the key travel as well. I hope they're taking all the shit that Apple's had to deal with the keyboards on their laptops as a warning and just not go that route. The T490s is thin enough, I don't need them to get any thinner, especially if it means worse battery life and shorter key travel.
Rips into the cult of "thinness above all else" in laptops. Also praise from both writers for mechanical keyboards.
Couldn't agree with him more. I was considering the new mbpro since they went back to the old keyboard with the scissor style. The keyboard is still awful. Terrible travel.
I use a HHKB Pro 2 at work and at home for programming work.
If I'm writing blogs or emails I prefer to use the keyboard on the x1c6.
Its magic every time baby.
Pretty much nail on the head. Can't say I've watched much of Joe Rogan aside from his James Hetfield interview about bees and stuff (since I love bees and Metallica lmfao), but now this intrigues me.
ThinkPad keyboards are the ultimate portable/integrated solution, but once I'm at a desktop, I like to refer to one of IBM's older gems.
It's funny how the interview goes from dead series commentary about laptop design to "what if dude fell and died while fapping"
Out of all the laptop keyboards I've used, ThinkPad has been the most pleasant to use when I don't feel like plugging my mechanical keyboards in. I'm even used to the trackpoint now. Joe Rogan is right on the money here. Even on mine, it feels to me like a lower profile Topre style of keyboard despite having chiclet keys. I'm excited to try the keyboards on the other series of ThinkPads assuming they are even better.
Uncomfortable is one thing and, yes, butterfly keyboards are uncomfortable. That's not the real problem with macbook keyboard, though.
The real problem is that they're defectively designed, such that any speck of dust will kill them so that they've gotta be replaced. By Apple only since macbooks are all riveted, glued and soldered and what that means is that the entire top case has to be replaced as well ... keyboard, battery and case. All when the thing encounters a speck of dust.
For the first 4 years, Apple will replace it for free. After that? Macbook users will be paying the $500 - $700 themselves. EACH time the thing fails.
That is the real problem with that keyboard. And macbooks. And Apple. As one of their victims, fuck them. Fuck them all and I'll never buy another Apple product ever again. It is a piece of shit product from a piece of shit company.
