Old MBP keyboard vs New

[FearoftheNight]

What do you guys think? I prefer the old one over the chicklets.

The old KB is actually what kept me from buying a MBP, it was way too soft for my taste. Chicklet all the way!

While I never had any complaints about the keyboard on my MacBook Pro, I really like the chiclet keyboard on my Apple aluminum keyboard. I'm hoping to upgrade to one of the new MacBooks at some point, and I will be glad to have the chiclet keyboard on both my machines.

I'm definitely going to try to steer away from the new keyboard as long as possible. I abhor the chiclet keyboard design as much as any one person can.

I prefer the chiclet design. The old MBP keyboard felt like ever other laptop keyboard out there.

Love the chiclet design. I was waiting to see that on the MBP's. But since there's no price drop, and edu discount suffered.. I have to go back to hoping they release a "normal mac" one day...

Not quite. It's not like a lot of PC laptops where the keyboard apparatus feels bends a little in the middle when you type. I can pound on my MBP's keyboard all day and feel reasonably secure that I'm not going to hurt it.

I love the design and the idea, but I hated it on the macbook. I love the nonchicklet mbp keyboard, but in the end, the keyboard isn't necessarily a deal breaker for me.
