Do you know if the mechanical scissor mechanism is used in the new wired keyboard? Is there even a new wired keyboard? Curious.
The description of the Apple Keyboard with Numeric Keypad on the Apple web site reads, "
…low-profile keys that provide a crisp, responsive feel." If memory serves that description has remained pretty much unchanged for years. On the other hand, the description of the new "Magic Keyboard" reads, "
With an improved scissor mechanism beneath each key for increased stability, as well as optimized key travel and a lower profile". Add to that the price point of the wired keyboard is half that of the Magic keyboard which has bluetooth and a Lithium Ion Battery it would seem unlikely the more expensive scissor springs would be used.
Now if Apple would only build a
Magic numeric keypad to match the
Magic Keyboard,
Magic Trackpad, and
Magic Mouse.
