A closer look at the improved keyboard on the new MacBook Pro reveals it's nearly identical to Apple's popular Magic Keyboard

When tearing apart the keyboard on Apple's new laptop, iFixit found that the keyboard is nearly identical to the Magic Keyboard Apple sells alongside the iMac Pro. It's so similar, in fact, thatThat's largely because the scissor switch that powers the keys in Apple's new laptop, which consists of two crossed plastic pieces with a pivot in the middle for commanding key movement, is pretty much the same one found in Apple's Magic Keyboard.

The new keyboard also seems like it will be easier to clean and repair based on iFixit 's teardown, as the report also notes that the clips that are used to keep the key caps seem more durable. This means you should be able to remove the key caps more easily without breaking them. The new keyboard also has 0.5 millimeters of additional key travel compared to the butterfly keyboard, and the individual keys are 0.2 millimeters thicker, the teardown also found.
