Kuo: Scissor-switch keyboards to return in 2019 MacBook Air, 2020 MacBook Pro

<p>Few if any of Apple’s recent designs have been so vocally reviled as its butterfly keyboards for the MacBook. But according to a new report from respected analyst Ming-Chi Kuo (as reported by <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2019/07/04/kuo-new-keyboard-macbook-air-pro/" rel="nofollow">9to5Mac[/url]), Apple may at last be reverting to the scissor-switch design for this year’s MacBook Air and 2020’s MacBook Pro.</p><p>This doesn’t mean that Apple is simply bringing back the beloved keyboard it used in older MacBooks. Instead, Kuo claims the new keyboards will have a fresh design that includes glass fiber for reinforcing the keys. Interestingly, Kuo suggests that such a scissor-switch design should cost Apple less to make, although I’ll caution that we’ll have to wait to see if that translates into savings at the consumer level.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3406428/kuo-scissor-switch-keyboards-to-return-in-2019-macbook-air-2020-macbook-pro.html#jump">To read this article in full, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
