Hello, it seems that the MacBook Air 2017's keyboard is different from those butterfly keyboard used in 2016-2017 MBP. Is it the same as those used in 2012-2015 rMBP?

They have not changed theMBA keyboard to the hideous butterfly. they still use the previous version which is probably 2012-2015

No the air has a bit flatter keys with less travel. But much more than the 2016 MBP
