I heard that the late 2020 one has the M1 chip as opposed to the intel chip in the early 2020 version. Do they have a different keyboard as well?
 
Does the late 2020 have significantly less heat compared to the early 2020?
 
Nope. Same scissor-switch keyboard and TouchBar.
So exactly when did the MBP began to have a different type of keyboard compared to the 2020 keyboard?

I've tried a (probably early) 2020 MBP of a family member back at home and I remember it having a very nice keyboard. But when I tried the MBP of nowadays at a Apple store, it seemed uncomfortable. So I thought the keyboard must have changed at least somewhat in its design between 2020 and 2025. I feel like it's shallower now.

The 13" Intel 2020 MBP and the 13" M1 2020 MBP have the same scissor-switch keyboard and TouchBar.
