Noob: Whats the latest 15" MBP I can get that doesnt have the butterfly KB?

[darkus]

I just tried the new keyboard in the Apple store and its just not for me. And I need to get a new 15" MBP for work within the next 2-3 weeks, so I'm thinking of getting a refurb one with the pre-butterfly KB. What year should I go for? I basically want the last year the old stlye KB was made? From pictures the 2016 and 2016 KB look identical and look flat, but I cant exactly tell. I still have a 2012 macbook air and love that computer/KB and think its perfect

Thank you!

2015 is the year.

You would need to purchase a 2015 MacBook Pro to avoid butterfly keyboard issues. However, I would caution you to be careful purchasing a 15” model from an unauthorized Apple retailer due to the recent reports of battery explosions/overheating.
