Scissor switch keyboards to return in 2019 macbook air 2020 macbook pro after long years of complaints apple s controversial butterfly keyboards may at last be going away. Kuo believes a new scissor switch keyboard will also be used in the macbook pro but not until 2020. Apple could very well be working on a 13 macbook pro and a macbook air with the scissor switch keyboard.

According to kuo s report the first laptop to get the new keyboard will be a new macbook air model due out this year followed by a new macbook pro in 2020. Apple in the 2019 16 inch macbook pro the 2020 13 inch macbook pro and the 2020 13 inch macbook air introduced a redesigned magic keyboard. The tech giant opted to use a traditional scissor style switch in its new 16 inch macbook pro and is expected to ditch the butterfly. The days of apple s troubled butterfly keyboard are numbered.

That report noted all macbook pros 13 15 and 16 inch models and the 13 inch macbook air would eventually adopt scissor switch keys in 2020 a design to be carried forward into 2021. However it s unclear as to when apple will release a new macbook pro. We expect the 13 macbook pro to be released as early as in the first quarter of 2020 as the company has already refreshed the larger version of the macbook pro. The new macbook air s headlining feature as expected is the scissor switch keyboard officially called magic keyboard.

Apple s 16 inch macbook pro is no longer the company s only laptop with a reliable keyboard. Perhaps tellingly kuo made no mention of the 16 inch macbook pro he has previously. But kuo thinks apple will ship updated macbook models with a scissor switch keyboard at some point during the second quarter of 2020.
