    The keyboard’s on macs have always been crap. They’re even crap on desktop, they’ve taken their awful, but I suppose understandable, laptop keyboard and stuck it on a desktop keyboard base. Why?

    Why are Apple allergic to the concept of keys having three dimensions to them, why are they all flat with zero travel.

      They’ve been a form over function company since the iMac days with the round mouse with a single button completed with PC mice thatwere commonly two button with scroll wheel and in a shape that fit the hand and let you know which way it was oriented.

          Yeah but the iMac was when they introduced the completely symmetrical mouse that you couldn’t tell which was it was pointing without looking for where the cord was. The previous one-button mice were just lacking functionality but looked as bad as most mice did in those days. The round one-button mice looked nicer but functioned worse, hence form over function.

          That said, I should have probably added an “at least” to my original statement.
