it is an all new keyboard as you move to a thinner design it took an entirely new kind of invention to make it a beautiful keyboard so the team studied how current keyboard technology works there's a slow-motion video of a customer typing on a standard keyboard and as you see as the keys get pressed through a bit wobbly in fact if you press them on the side they start to bottom out that's because they're based on a mechanism called a scissor mechanism and there was a time when that was great but now there's something new our team invented a butterfly mechanism this butterfly mechanism is built of a single assembly and it's supported by a stainless steel dome switch and that all adds up to a key that is much more precise inaccurate in fact it's four times more stable than that scissor mechanism it is forty percent thinner allowing us to make a thinner keyboard and we also made the key cap larger making it even easier to strike and get a beautiful typing experience so this is a slow-motion video of typing than the new keyboard on the new macbook the keys are much more precise much more accurate even if you strike them on the side
