Just tried the keyboard of the new Macbook in Berlin's Apple store for 60 minutes including typing tests on some online sites. From some of the threads here I was expecting a hollow and cheap keyboard experience.
But the keyboard feels superb and absolutely great to type on. It feels good from the first keystroke, different but still great. Crisp and precise on every keystroke. I could realize the same typing speed as on my rMBP 15. And it is as comfortable.
No trolling intended, I just think that the keyboard doesn't feel worse, shallow, hollow or cheap. And it's not a deal breaker. Not at all. I can't imagine that people return the Macbook bc of the keyboard.
Going to order it w US layout when back at home. Good that I tried it myself.
