When a key is pressed down, it provides tactile feedback so that you feel that you have just successfully pressed.

In addition to its elasticity, it is also possible to bend the keyboard, making it more flexible to use.

This new keyboard is expected to bring better experience and input performance than the Butterfly keyboard currently equipped on the current MacBook.

The 'famous' Butterfly keyboard with easy-to-stick dirt under the keycap, leads to jamming keys, poor feedback keys, which greatly affects the user experience.

After receiving a lot of "stone tiles" from users, Apple has overcome the problem by adding a thin rubber film underneath the keycap to block dirt, but it leads to another incident of degree The depth of the keys when pressed is reduced, in other words, the bounce of the key is affected quite a lot and the user is not satisfied with the problem.

This new glass keyboard of Apple, if applied in practice, can completely overcome existing problems on a regular physical keyboard.We will no longer have to worry about jamming or dust accumulating between keys.That is not to mention that the glass keyboard can completely use longer time than the physical keyboard.
