@mjtsai I read your piece about MacBook keyboards earlier and how badly they wear. Apple’s desktop ones are no better. This is just from normal use. Left Option and Command keys are a state also. Just over two years old. (The right arrow key also pinged off one day and has never quite sat right since. Quality…)
@craiggrannell My desktop keyboard looks just like that, except it’s old enough that the E is completely gone and the S, D, and C are almost invisible. Eventually it wears enough so that the keys feel mostly flat again. That said, at least it doesn’t look dirty like the MacBook keyboards.
@mjtsai I keep meaning to take it into our local Apple Store to see what they’ll have to say about it. Probably not much. I do wonder if swapping out the key caps is an option, but I can’t tell if the key symbols have a purple tint, like the keyboard. Notably, Apple doesn’t sell replacement keyboards for the iMac either, at least not on its website. So you’d have to get a grey one.
