Looks a bit bit slimmer but not so much.
If you ask me, the keys look identical to the current MacBook lineup. I believe they are the scissor keys which mean low travel but a secure feel to them.
Got a tip for us?

Overall, it will be interesting to see what is all "new" on this MacBook Pro. I would love to upgrade to a pro and give my wife my current MacBook Air.
Yeah, the hand isn't that fat anymore.New:

macOS Sierra 10.12.1, released yesterday, includes hidden Apple Pay images that depict the brand new MacBook Pro with an OLED touch panel that's set to be announced by Apple on Thursday, October 27.
In addition to confirming that such a product is in the works, the images give us our first full look at the redesigned MacBook Pro ahead of its launch. An OLED touch panel is located on top of the keyboard, where the function keys would normally be placed, and it very clearly supports Touch ID, as it is seen used with Apple Pay.
As has been rumored, the touch panel, which may be called the "Magic Toolbar," appears to be contextual, changing based on what's on the screen. In the images, Apple Pay dialog is depicted, asking a customer to confirm a purchase with a finger on the panel. It appears Touch ID is built directly into the OLED panel, with no dedicated Touch ID button depicted.
Aside from the OLED touch panel, the new MacBook Pro looks similar in design to the existing models. It looks like the 13-inch MacBook Pro is used in the images, suggesting the machine will gain speakers located at the side of the keyboard.
Thickness can't be determined from the orientation of the MacBook Pro in the images, but rumors suggest the new machine is thinner and lighter weight than existing models. A redesigned hinge can be seen in the images, suggesting it is indeed quite a bit thinner. Also visible are much flatter keys, similar in design to the keys of the Retina MacBook, which use a new butterfly mechanism.
Ports are not visible, but based on past part leaks, we're expecting four USB-C ports and a headphone jack, with the HDMI port, MagSafe port, and SD card slot being eliminated.
Apple will announce the new MacBook Pro on Thursday, October 27 at 10:00 a.m. A new MacBook Air model is also expected, and new iMacs are a possibility. MacRumors will provide live coverage of the event both on MacRumors.com and on the MacRumorsLive Twitter account.
(Thanks, Richard!)

Ballmer said the same thing about the iPhone not having a physical keyboard.
Time makes fools of us all.

Wait, who said they're removing it? Did I miss something?
There've been rumors about that way back and considering they'll like make it look more like the MB (also slimming down the screen), they're probably gonna get rid of it, yeah
Could 3x indicate an even higher res screen? Not that they'd need to do it, just curious.
I am excited about the new MacBook Pro hopefully announced on Thursday. I wonder if shipping of these new Macs will be right away or if we will have to wait a couple of weeks or longer? Please let me know what you think as I need to prepare myself for the purchase. Thanks!!
I must say it looks pretty good
That toolbar looks like one of those genius features everybody will copy and nobody will remember how it was before. Like Touch ID and much of the current MacBooks...

What you call tacky, I call iconic. I love it. But I also love - and dearly miss - the white colored Macs
- That dude was seriously accurate, though!
Umm no, had a rMB for over a month and tried to get used to the keyboard when keying in charts. Gave it to my wife for a facebook machine after my month trial was over. I guess the hipsters are cool with it, but I grew up on Alps keyswitch IBM/Apple keyboards and the current rMB's keyboard is atrocious. No way I'm getting the new rMBP 15 if it has the exact same keyboard as the rMB. Looking forward to firesale 2015 rMBP 15 prices...
