Recently Apple updated lineup of Macbook Pro has an updated Intel processors, and improved keyboard “butterfly”. The latter became quieter, but as it turns out, is not the only change in their work.

Specialists iFixit disassembled a brand new laptop and found something interesting. Under the key caps, the engineers placed a silicone membrane. They act as covers for the mechanism and, presumably, protect it from crumbs and debris that lead to “sticky” buttons in previous versions. In June, the company from Cupertino has launched a service program to repair keyboards of the previous generation, although officially recognized only a small percentage of breakdowns. However, it seems that Apple decided not to bring the case to lawsuits and quietly fixed the problem.

Interestingly, Apple has patented such a solution in March of this year. The application describes several designs of buttons, including a variant with a protective silicone cover.

How this modification will solve the problem with “sticking” keys, it is difficult to say. We need to wait to have a product for testing, then we can speak more definitely.
