We Found the "New Material" in Apple's Fourth Butterfly Keyboard
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Has Apple finally fixed the MacBook Pro’s troubled keyboard? To find out, we pulled one apart and took it to our local materials engineering lab for some analysis. We found a new blend of plastic protecting the key switches, and the springy metal domes in the switches have also been subtly tweaked in a way that supposedly helps thosse peskkyy doubble inputts and missd ky prsses.
If that’s not enough to reassure you, in an unprecedented move this year’s keyboards were also immediately added to Apple’s newly expanded keyboard repair program. Analyzing Apple’s prototyping in process has been pretty fun, but we’re still typing on 2012 MacBook Pro keyboards and not experiencing these pricey beta tests first-hand...

Apple in 2013: Awesome technology, mind blowing innovations
Apple in 2019: Searching changes under the microscope
so tim cook was good?
Companies don’t change things as frequently as they use to. Dell, Acer, Toshiba, Razer, and so many other companies are guilty of this, not just Apple. That’s the markets fault as a whole though, people want innovation now so companies are honesty spend too much time trying to make the next big think rather than putting true improvements into tech they have out now.
Apple has always had issue. The earlier MacBook pros had the Nvidia GPUs that failed. Apple eventually threw in the towel and went to AMD GPUs. And added a warranty extension for the systems with the failing GPUs. But that program was sunsetted leaving Nvidia GPU systems with no repair path.
Sometimes evolutionary steps are small....
Apple hasn't "innovated" anything (outside the field of marketing overpriced proprietary crap to suckers with more money than braincells) since the Mac II.
Haha, love the shade the metallurgist throws at the polymers: "they have good mechanical strength... as far as polymers go."
they should bring back the 2015 keyboards, perfect travel and one of the best keyboards on a thin laptop
Not thin enough for apple
Fishman 02 I know that’s why I’m holding onto my 2015 retina MacBook Pro until it can’t be updated to the newest OS anymore
Swift Boiz honestly that’s good to hear, when you spend 1000+ dollars you expect a quality item. Hope you don’t get any of the issues they’ve been reporting
ȘȚɄƑƑɎǾɄ1oo not to mention how much apple prices have gone up. In 2015 I bought a MacBook Pro + Mac mini w/8 gigs of ram for 1700 CAD now just a MacBook Pro is 1700 CAD
ȘȚɄƑƑɎǾɄ1oo the Mac mini is my favourite product apple has ever made, it’s the greatest home theatre computer ever. When my Mac mini kicks the bucket I’ll probably build my own pc in a really small case, because Mac mini’s now start at 800 CAD. Have you read up on hackintosh computers? That’s probably what I’ll do.
Some excellent research here, you guys get better and better!
Should've provided that engineer guy with a proper microphone.
Nice video overall.
Yes, I really struggled to understand him
His own equipment tho.
@@TheLegoPerson You're right, that's my fault! We were rushing to get this out same-day. Next time I'll bring more gear with me.
Lavalier would have been easy!
@@kylewiens6928 how is right to repair coming along, Kyle?
the obsessiveness of apple to have the thinnest notebooks is harming the quality
People have been crowing this quote for a very, very long time--yet Apple refuses to change. Such a shame for a company that held amazing potential a decade ago.
Thin laptop, thick headed, classic Apple.
Its about profit not thinness
And quiet as well
They call that courage
I was hoping for more of a discussion of *how* the materials were different, not just "Yep, they aren't the same. Case closed."
benchmark durability and environmental tests not done,
just look here and there and a difference is found
Video was way too long.
I think they were trying to get this video out the day the change was announced or something. Thats why they couldnt do too much through testing.
Well, Apple probably bought this new plastic formula for a good portion of a million dollars, and finding out what it is would take an order of magnitude more than that.
Imagine a crime scene: it cost the criminal $2 in ammo to commit the crime, but it's going to cost the city $20,000 in resources to investigate and find out the hidden information.
You want some cheese to go with that whine?
Ffs Apple, add 3mm to thickness of the MacBook and give everyone normal keyboards and better cooling.
Yeah not gonna happen. To them thinner means better by default
That's how they reach trillion dollar company. Getting hips of profit from less materials.
@@rgurung4196 that's the only difference they can show how different the new model is
That’s 3mm too much
@Stacey Luster No they just care about the sex appeal of their products and being a "high end" brand like the Mercedes and Rolls Royce of computers, if it looks more like a piece of art than a computer, apple will make it
It's funny how the Metallurgy expert is still rocking the pre-retina 15 inch MacBook Pro!
Goddammit this video's description is *LOVE* !! 😂

Agreed! They were nearly impossible to understand- especially through phone speakers.
You guys need better speakers. It really wasn't that bad.
@@pixlplague maybe so- but the point of good, or even sub-par audio engineering, is so the audio in question can be enjoyed (or at least clearly understandable) by anyone, regardless of their listening equipment
@@pixlplague thats not how audio engineering works
@@rutgerdegraaf5277 well no shit. My point being it was good ENOUGH. Not everything has to sound like it was recorded in a studio all the time...
Apple has singlehandedly taken something that no one gave any thought about for decades and made it a gigantic problem...ugh
@moo what are you an about...
@moo It's just completely untrue your statement. Dell XPS have great keyboards on par with the old macbook designs. I have had both of them. Apple just havent evolved there designs (at least not in the right direction) and now the competition has caught up and in some cases outperforms even the old macbook keyboards.
*"Apple has singlehandedly taken something that no one gave any thought about for decades and made it a gigantic problem...ugh"*
No, social media and people like you with your fucking stupid little childish rants throwing shade on a fucking company is who made something a gigantic problem. So funny how Samsung can make exploding phones that caught fire in people's homes and caused 3rd degree burns and the public stupidly forgave them. With Apple it's a fucking keyboard that can't fucking hurt you and the Apple hating trolls throw shade, just because it's Apple. Shut the fuck up loser.
By "no one gave any thought about", I mean in regards to expecting the keyboard to ever stop working under normal conditions. I don't know of any other laptop (or computer in general) that has chronic keyboard problems. This is a shitty flawed design and Apple needs to acknowledge it, take the L and make something else.
Apple's obsession to get to the thinnest keyboard will end at a touch panel 👊
Shhh! why are you putting such ideas in their head. They will actually do it!
Yeah, I'll see it when I believe it if this actually fixes it.
That’s weird. How so you see your belief?
It probably won't. Even the last metal piece would wear out with flexion damage.
so the moment you believe something you see it? strange
Hell yeah right to the point... don’t fix what ain’t broken!!!!!!
Awesome Vid!!!! 🙏!!!
If it fails under normal use, then it's broken by design.
They just skip the expensive and time consuming testing just because of profit.
And they do that on purpose.
Fault: Display cable breaks, because it's too short. Next revision: Let's make it even shorter.
This is huge....
I see you everywhere
I sold my 2018 MacBook Pro because of the keyboard. Paid over $2250 and sold it back for about $1450, considering if the keyboard crashed it was a good deal. Used it to buy a 2018 IMac 27” and am happier with it than MacBook Pro. Plus if keyboard goes out fifty dollars to replace it.
You do know there is a new recall for the keyboard and you could get it fix for free...
Did you not use your warranty to fix it?
Or you could get a proper mechanical keyboard.
Apple didn't release Imacs in 2018...
Not if they no longer own it they can't.
As the creator of the dome switch in 1969, I would be looking at the electronics, if there is no failure in the dome or moisture layer.
The original 'switch' was contactless. The depression of a key was detected by the change in the capacitance between a metal layer attached to the key and the PCB traces below. The dome was originally invented to provide a 'snap' action to accentuate the change in capacitance of the switch with the depression of a key. It was about 3 years later that the 'switch' was made into a contacting switch for use in calculators. As they say ‘the rest is history’.
US patent # 3,653,038. I'd be happy to consult on your problem.
Considering the fact that cleaning under the keys doesn't always fix the issues, it looks like those dome switches are probably the point of failure. Most chiclet-style keyboards have rubber or plastic dome switches under the keycaps because they typically last longer than metal in this use case. Simply put, metal breaks faster when it's bent repeatedly.
I still love my 2012 MacBook pros keyboard better than any other that’s come out since, 2015 being the runner up.
I understand what apple is doing but I feel they’re doing the contrary of what they strive to achieve when a product doesn’t feel good in your hands or as good as their older products. This video had a great ending BTW that engineer said it perfectly.
This is extremely interesting, but also extremely incomplete:
- The key cap: so is it the same material and shape? You just listed this piece but gave no detail about it.
- The butterfly mechanism: the most important piece. Again, you listed this piece, but gave us no information about it. Has the material of the butterfly mechanism changed? Is it a different plastic? Has the shape changed in any way?
- The dome switch cover: here you were more exhaustive. We got that it's a different material and also it's thicker.
- The metal dome switch: so it's the same exact shape apparently. But is it made with the same metal?
Alistair Raffaello Baslini Rosselli at 2:10 they say the butter fly mechanism is a different polymer.
Alistair Raffaello Baslini Rosselli the Butterfly mechanism is a different polymer, and the Dome switch is a different Nylon (they did not specify which plastic ) but I think he said Nylon 5 to Nylon 6.
If apple (or another company) keeps promising to fix problems, but doesn't, don't keep giving them money untill they fix it. They will keep delaying untill they have all of your money.
Test different stuff, and see what works for you, if a brand or model fails you, switch! Be open minded and flexible!
They should make the 2020 macbook even thinner, TIG welded shut. replace the keyboard entirely with a capacitive glass one, and of course keep it at 8GB of RAM with a dual core starting at $1500
Starting at $2500. There. Fixed it for you. ;)
Also, all glass no movement touch-only keyboard. But you don't get touch on the screen/UI. Just touch on the keyboard.
It looks to me the shape of the metal dome spring has changed. The 2018 model has a faster transition from the edge to the flat part of the dome, vs the 2019 switch which has a rounder transition. The difference is slight, but if you look at the inner "circle" of the 2019 switch it is smaller than the 2018 version. The 2019 switch/spring just looks rounder or smoother making it more "bubble" like. A rounder design would distribution the stress more evenly on the dome portion of the switch. I would like to see a cross-section comparison of the 2018 and 2019 versions.
Perhaps the switch failures are not at the tabs, but in the middle of the dome? Combine that with the change in nylon and it looks like Apple made an effort to improve the performance, consistency and strength of the main area of contact for the switch.
lets hope it works. i maybe waiting for the 16inch model but if i cant wait or if its just a macbook air then i gotta go with the 2019 model.
The newer ones are really, really nice in terms of accuracy. They click like buttons, its different but actually more tactile than a traditional keyboard, you get used to it and I think most people find it to be a huge improvement for the most part. The only reason people flip shit is because if grime gets under them they get stuck. I think similarly to the Mac Pro of 2013 they over engineered themselves into in awkward corner where they have something amazing but also bottlenecked. I got rid of my 2017 after the keyboard failed a second time. Fingers crossed that this time around they nail it. Waiting a couple months but I will fully spec one if the consensus is that the keyboard is much more resilient.
Commenting only on feel of the keys (I don’t own any of the newer MacBooks), the keys FELT GREAT. IT FELT ALIVE, very mechanical, good feedback! One of the BEST keyboard I felt. Too bad they break.
Am I the only one that thinks the feel of the butterfly keys is better than anything else?
I just received back my 2018 Macbook air from the Apple Store, with the new keyboard installed. I can feel the difference when pressing the keys, it feels sharper, no duplicate letters. And the sound of the key press is different too. No idea what they did.
They launched a repair program for this specific problem with this new laptop, that says it all.
iFixit can't you stress test it for us? Like blowing dust and different kind of particles to a keyboard and testing if it works. And do the same with the 2018 version. That would be nice and I haven't seen anyone doing it.
Unless you have a really large sample size, it would mostly be random.
To see the difference you would need to do such a test on a really large scale.
Think about this: a tap on the MacBook's TouchPad provides more haptic feedback than that stupid keyboard.
cphginger I own a 15inch Pro, no they don’t but I can understand if the op meant it in a sarcastic way
Not everyone wants an inch of key travel on their keyboard though.
Don't they have some sort of feedback on their touchpad?... How feasible would be an all touchpad keyboard? ... Worse feedback then even? But no dust. And broad gestures and all sorts of functions while not using the keys.
Personally own a 2017 MBP 15” and only had a problem once. To my class’s surprise I turned laptop upside down and blew at the keyboard. Haven’t had an issue since.
I got a 2011 mbp and no problems so far. Hope yours lasts this long but I wouldn't count on it.
Teardown the LG G8 ThinQ, then x-ray the "crystal oled sound" speaker under the display. I want to see how it works
it's just a conduction speaker with the conductive material being the led plastic...

Will Apple launch butterfly switch 4S ?
With new retina butterfly switches.

"you're pressing the keyboard wrong"
The S is for poop
I’ve had every MacBook Pro from 2015-2018 and they have all failed more than twice. Have spent so many hours traveling to Apple store it’s not even funny. Let’s hope this fix lasts more than a few months.
Is it really worth it though? I mean my mom and sister change out their windows running laptops only once every 2-4 years (i use desktops which last longer if you change componenets and not the whole thing) and they don't even have to keep the same company and we only had a single laptop break before 2 years of use. Which was because our cat kept pulling out the power cable on my mom's dell laptop while it was charging and the slot into which you plug in the power broke. And it was an easy repair. We bought the replacement for 14 bucks on amazon, opened the sucker up and switched out the component as fairly incompetent in that aspect people. It took about an hour of my time on a weekend. Otherwise we never had any other breaks for either of their stuff and they only change their laptops out every few years to get better processors and graphic cards so they never have to suffer their computers slowing down. This seems a lot more cost and time effective then having to buy new tech every year in hopes they fixed the issue with the new one. And then still having it break down and having to spend a lot of time money and effort to fix that shit. We had an apple laptop once. That shit broke every 2-3 months I swear. And was only somewhat usable for around 9 months after which it became the slowest computer I have ever had to use. It had the processing brain power of a flea goddamnit. Not a single fond memory of using that machine, it was nighmarish pretty much starting the first week of it being in heavy use. Pro my ass. But maybe I am just biased on my overall bad expirience with their stuff. Except my ipods. Which I have 2 of. Both now super old. Both still work as if they are new. Both can easily sync on my windows computer. Just 2 perfect pieces of technology. Why they can't make the rest of their stuff as quality as their ipods, I don't get. Besides those 2 everything else we tried from them has consistently been absolute crap. The phones and the computers.
At that point I would've just bought something else
Why should they? People like you are coming back, no matter what...
"I'm an idiot who likes to overpay for inferior products, even when they fail, I will spend more money on the exact same products"
@@doomcity85 Exactly
I'm pretty sure apple replaced my 2018 keyboard with this 2019. I don't know if it was I had "worn out" the old keyboard but I feel as this keyboard requires more force to push down if that makes sense. The keys just seem to move less, they're a bit softer, and harder to press down. It might be me but it feels different. I'm not sure what I like more. It feels like I'm "exercising" my fingers but it feels softer. Overall, I'm just I don't have any issues YET. I'd have had to stop like 20 times with the previous keyboard to delete repeated characters .
hey man do you mean the 2019 keyboards are better?
so glad I still have my fully spec out 2015 15" macbook pro... thing is rock solid had it for years.
Same here.
I won't leave my late 2013-era machine until they return 1) ports 2) real keyboard 3) improve general electronics design (vis-a-vis Louis Rossman) 4) make parts available / stop preventing them from being unavailable
0:40 - Whoa! I graduated Cal Poly SLO in 1998. Kick ass!
The real problem is that there isn't a dedicated Mac team at Apple anymore. So, there's no incentive to make them better. Plus, Tim doesn't care. The Mac is on its last legs.
Apple: makes vague statement about material in a keyboard
IFixit: starts a full on investigation on two pieces of plastic
You should return to the engineers with a BROKEN example and see if THEY CAN FIGURE OUT what the PROBLEM might be. Now that would be really interesting.
My Touchbar MacBook Pro 2018 has now also suffer key death so for free Apple is changing my bottom half for the 2019 apple keyboard and touchbar which is sick
Still very happy with a 2012 MacBook Pro. I can open it up, add memory, upgrade the HDD to SSD, renew battery (if necessary). Did memory and SSD upgrades. Works like a charm. No keyboard issues. And, BTW, has USB3.0 inputs.
Absolutely amazing research work done by the ifixit guys, give it up for them, you guys are just awesome!!!!
Apple should do what Samsung did after Galaxy S6 ,start listening to customers and change some things back back ,maybe making a slightly thicker laptop with more ports and "normal" keyboard.
I remember the S6 having bad battery life, no sd expansion, and less updates. Now I have the unlocked Note 8 and there is no bloatware, sd expansion, far better battery life, and more security updates. I had doubts before I bought the phone because I had a shitty experience with the S5 and S6 but they caught up. Look at Samsung now, people like the company more. If Apple did the same like you mentioned, I think they would benefit in keeping long-term customers.
Shortly after S6 Samsung created Note 7, the one that kept exploding.
@@NJ-wb1cz So....?
@@raymond4955 so apparently apple needs to create an exploding phone or something
@@NJ-wb1cz I mean they already created a folding phone (iPhone 6) and folding tablet (2018 iPad pro)...
For the sake of thinnes, Apple went through the trouble of re-designing their faulty keyboard four times when they could have made a new switch altogether to mitigate the problem completely this time.
Cool video. I like the unbiased approach. I think Apple should “re-invent” their “Pro” laptop and come up with a workstation class laptop that meets the needs of video, audio, imaging, programming and scientific users, and call that the Pro. Then this class of MacBook could be the Pro Air or Pro Thin, or whatever marketing wants to call it. But this is why I avoid laptops altogether. The entire design is a compromise.
Noice!
But you do know that the current line-up is included in the "recall" right? oh repair replacement.....but yeah if there's any physical damage no free repair for you!
The metal switches could have been a little bit more tested. A pressure test for clicking of the switches. Is it the same down forces needed for contact. Then ,an alloy analysis of the metal could also have confirmed that there was no changes on that part.
The background music is totally necessary. I really appreciated that!
Background music was very good.
The engineer at the end is dead on. Know your team, their strength and weakness and their boundaries. In this case the engineer won but the product fails. I returned my 2018 15 inch because I knew this thing was wrong
Nylon is strong but prone to swelling from moisture. Could be a problem eventually especially for users in humid environments.
At this point, I'm inclined to agree with what he said Apple marketing would do. Just give up on butterfly and return to the old scissor switch. It's enjoyable to type on, has good tactile feedback, and isn't prone to failing if stored anywhere other than a dust proof lab. The butterfly keys seem like change for the sake of change.
"as a company you don't want your customers to do the testing for you" *cough* microsoft *cough* windows 10 *cough*
*cough* Samsun *cough*
·I cannot believe they used so many decent characterization methods! ~And I am proud of my polymer major!
If Apple had fixed the issue completely, they wouldn't have included their latest models for the extended repair program.
Well I’m glad they did for people with a broken keyboard with the 3rd gen
They will be replacing all of the third-gen keyboards with the fourth-gen. I have not heard if they are doing the same with the first or second-gen models, but I’d say that they are fairly confident about their fix if they’re changing your replacement options.
If this actually fixes the issue, I hope apple will allow the keyboards on older Macbooks to be swapped out with this for free (doubt it). I think we all deserve this after the continuing issues on our $1200+ laptops.
Apple 2020:
- fuck this, here’s our full touchscreen keyboard. No more dust.
LOL that background music ! like a thriller cop movie
then it suddenly stops at 3:55
It’s absolutely ridiculous that people even NEED to do this type of research. Apple should just be honest with people
TYPING THIS ON MY 2011 THINKPAD KEYBOARD THAT HAS NEVER BEEN REPLACED THANK YOU APPLE.
Ricky Oswald it’s a shame your caps lock is stuck on though
As a material engineer by training myself, I think you found some cool guys to help you.
And I'm typing this on a 2018 Macbook Pro. But in a lot of ways I still prefer my old 2011 Macbook Pro.
I hate the Touchbar, most useless thing ever.
"by training myself" lol
Informative video.
Terrible audio quality in some segments. Could've been fixed with some mixing and mastering.
Should've fixed with a mic
As a current gen MacBook Pro user, how in the world has Apple not verified how these keyboards work without failing by the 4th year in a row?
It really sucks that the keyboards have a kinda short lifespan. Like i have the 2018 macbook air and i personally find the keyboard amazing. I know it sounds weird but i love how short the travel distance is, they feel really nice to type on and the size of them is great. I have an older like 2015??? macbook pro with the old keyboard everyone likes and i find the buttons far too small and kinda squishy. I really hope apple can do something to fix these new keyboards because i love the feel of them and probably wouldnt like my new laptop as much without it
Levelier please. Can you redo this video with planed written script. This is a tópic that we are interested in, involve all the parties if posible. Engineers rock.
As a head marketing myself, he actually have a good point speaking in marketing perspective. This issue just made a PR nightmare lol
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've never heard the same keyboard issue with Dell's Maglev keyboard which has the same design as Apple's Butterfly keyboard
I think I’m the only one that bursted out laughing at 0:19. I have never seen the title of an article where 1/2 of the words are misspelled
it was on purpose you idiot. defective keyboards.
So was there any test done on the metal switch, to see if a different material has been used? I thought the metallurgist was going to do that, but then he just "guessed"
They should have at least put the two switches in the SEM to see if different alloys were used. If same alloy (likely) they could have done hardness testing to see if the new switch is stronger than the old one. Both are pretty quick to do. It seems that the consultant only wanted to look at the parts under his stereoscope, and not really doing more testing. Too bad.
literally anyone would be happier with a better keyboard and maybe an sd port with a thicker laptop
I think they fixed the problem with the 2019 keyboard, but it was already too late for apple to recover from bad reputation and decided to include the 2019 model in the keyboard fix recall just in case. And discard the butterfly mechanism for Macbook Pros next generation (design was over due for 2020). But Macbook Air? only time will tell, but I bet at least the 13-inch will probably get a 14-inch revision and a a scissor keyboard as well. This thinner keyboard will only see light in slimmer macbooks if ever again.
“Keyboard good. Keyboard thin.”
“They have no travel at all, are incredibly ergonomically uncomfortable, are plagued by incredibly common failures and replaced what is widely considered to be the best keyboard design ever put on a laptop!”
“Mmmm... thin keyboard.”
Awesome video guys... Always nice to watch something different rather than same old studio clips.
I don't know what kind of channel this is, but I rate this video four stars. It's very good quality! Very informational.
Nothing beats the 2012 Macbook pro :P - Same shit for years...
Their old keyboard has the most comfy chiclet keys in history of laptops while new one is the worst lol.
Even the Engineer is still using the 2015 Macbook pro hahahaha
Me i’m still using my macbook pro 13 2016, still 100% working no issue for butterfly mec-keyboard .
If you’re having trouble with your keyboard like double characters (for me it was the spacebar) and want a solution that will help 95% of the time? USE THE APP “Unshaky” and configure the delay to 40ms
Thank you to the experts that provided their advice and opinions. Much appreciated and superb video. Great job highlighting a "consumer" problem as Apple would probably say haha not a "design problem". "You're using it wrong"
This video was great. Pretty in depth analysis with real professionals
I would develop the glass keyboard for laptops as they did for iPhone
the title at 0:19 looks like it is typed in a macbook lmaooooo
you know... that's the joke
I don't know but I love typing on butterfly keys. new keys on 16" mac just felt old and cheap and hard to press.
When marketing makes more sense than engineering, things have gone south
The new butterfly keys are made from actual butterflies.
Hello iFixit, I am actually sending my 2016 MacBook Pro in for a keyboard repair toady. Do you know if they will put the updated 4th gen keyboard in after the repair, or do they simply put another set of old keyboard in it?
Andy Xiao no upgrade, put old keyboard into old MacBooks.
They will replace your keyboard with the new one, what they're not doing is replacing mac book air and mac book keyboards in the factory. Your repair will be the new keyboard.
@@sebastianflynn1746 Lies, its the exact same old keyboard that will replace his faulty one.
Sebastian Flynn it won’t only the 2018 Pros and Airs get this keyboard with the ‘new’ materials. Any prior models get the same version unfortunately :( you can see this in The Verge’a article on this.
No upgrade
5:28 Cool Explanation from an engineer standpoint
Nobody:

Ever heard of microphone? JK nice job
just bring back the old keyboard, my 2015 macbook pro is plenty thin enough and still gets hot.
What about the display cable? Has Apple fixed it?
I heard from ifixit they found the display cable being slightly longer.
They need the old keyboard back! Those rocked, felt good... and every time I hit o and I it didn’t type it out 2-4x
