    Can you fit a 2017 MBP top case to an M1 / M2 MBP?

    Trying to get the butterfly keyboard typing experience on an M1 or M2 MBP. Believe it or not I actually think the 2017 butterfly keyboard is the best keyboard ever conceived in terms of typing feel, tactility, feedback and sound. It's a marvel of engineering save for the reliability.

    I’m tired of YouTubers saying oh “well if you’re doing VFX work, the MAX is for you…” but clearly have not themselves. Because unless you’re anyone who does real 3D or motion work often needs way more powerful & reliable, especially if you’re doing for a big studio. They have no idea what they...
