Tell HN: New MacBook Pro keyboard maybe

So like many here, I'm hoping Apple fixes the keyboard situation.

Looks like a few months ago they released a new Magic Keyboard, "now in Space Gray", but if you look close enough the keyboard is improved compared to the plain white magic keyboard released prior (it's as if they simply pulled out the faulty MacBook one).

The "new" one on the space gray has an appreciable amount more travel and feels a little softer on the joints.

It's close enough that Apple can save face and just call it better not revamped/"fixed".

Excited.

I didn't realize you can buy them separately now (https://www.apple.com/us/shop/mac/mac-accessories/mice-keybo...). I remembered only the iMac Pro had the space gray one.

I didn't think the original magic keyboard had the problems of the MacBook.

Anyway they are already on the third revision of the butterfly keys, I can't see them stopping until the problem is resolved one way or another.
