The keyboard of the new MacBook Air has been officially put on sale on the official website. In addition to performance, the key layout has also been adjusted. The height of the left and right arrow keys of the direction keys has been cut in half. It is no longer a deliberate pursuit to fill the keyboard area as in the past. The height of the left and right arrow keys of the direction keys has been cut in half for three reasons. The first is for speed and convenience; the second is for design. The personality and beauty; the third one is different from the butterfly pose of the past.
The first one is fast and convenient.

The third one is to differentiate it from the butterfly keyboard.
Although butterfly keyboards are the mainstream in the market, due to their design, butterfly keyboards can easily get stuck by dust, shavings and other debris and cannot function properly, and are often complained by users.
