So what’s the new material? I phoned a friend. Meet Eric Beaton, who runs @polyengineering’s materials engineering lab. We used a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrograph to fingerprint both plastics.

As you can see, they’re dramatically different. Apple switched to nylon! pic.twitter.com/FexkiQwozQ
We found not one, but two, new "materials" in the keyboard of the 2019 MacBook Pro 15" with Touch Bar: https://t.co/sUehPMx9ll pic.twitter.com/Mqa8goaNz1

iFixit has details on “new materials” in the MacBook Pro keyboards. Small tweaks to membrane & metal switch.

My take: when it comes to consumer trust in Apple’s butterfly keyboard design, different materials won’t make a material difference.

Apple told @joannastern that “it has made a change to a material in the keyboard mechanism.” We found two changes. The first change is the material they made this membrane out of.

For whatever it’s worth, the material of a buckling dome can make a VERY significant difference in reliability. ETA chose bump switches of this type that failed constantly. Lepracon’s were SO much better. (neither as good as Avo/Celco ‘Schadow’ buckling springs bit LP was close). https://t.co/LiHqKKMZuM
