Keyboard: MB vs. MBP

[Jiddick ExRex]

Macbook's. I feel that the MBP needs a hard bit of 'hammering' on it before it responds to some key presses (mainly the ones I use pinky fingers for). Well as long as it excercises my finger muscles I can't complain though.

Just make it a BTO option

Maybe they should ship it with the old design of keyboard and have the suckers pay extra for the "new Macbook styled" ones. That will be rich.

Dude, you totally dug this out of the grave. Look at how fast this is going! I really can't believe it went this long with no reply. Must have been posted on a busy day!

I'm gonna call it a tie. The MB seems to have more feedback, but I do love the light up keys. I dunno, I guess I've just gotten used to both.

The MacBook keyboard feels much nicer to type on and has media keys for play/pause, skip forward/back etc. That alone makes it win over MacBook Pro.

Hahahaha, this is funny. I totally forgot about this thread, oh well. Yea, last year around this time (literally), I was debating between the MB and MBP. I think I liked the MB kb better at the time, but I ended up going with the MBP and I don't regret it one bit. Better performance, bigger MATTE screen and the seductive aluminum case sorta made the decision for me. Anyways, now that a year has gone by a couple of new things have been brought to the table, for instance, the new Apple kb and the MBA. I still like the MB kb, espeially on the external kb, but I already have a macally ICEkey kb which I really like. Oh well, hopefully this will be of some use to someone wondering the same thing 🙄
