> I ordered the new Magic Keyboard for desktop use (which uses similar switches)

Actually, the Magic Keyboard uses scissor switches. I don't blame you for not noticing, but it does demonstrate that Apple can make scissor switches that appeal to butterfly switch fans.

In the article Marco suggests that Apple replace the problematic butterfly switch keyboard on the MacBook Pro with the keyboard from the Magic Keyboard. Since you like the Magic Keyboard, I assume this would be fine with you?

"similar switches" was a bad phrase to use in my original comment

> I don't blame you for not noticing

I did notice.

In fact, I hesitated to buy the current Magic Keyboard, hoping that they'd refresh it with the exact feel of the laptops. The key travel is about halfway between the old wireless keyboard and the new MacBook Pros. Better, but not perfect.

I greatly prefer the butterfly switches, yet acknowledge that the Magic Keyboard is an improvement over the old wireless keyboard.
