I'm using the keyboard built into the MacBook Pro. I find the placement easier with my screen setup.

It does the job, though I wouldn't mind something that was a little bit quieter.

What year? I don't mind the "old" one, but I've heard some horror stories about the new "butterfly" switches.

It's the 2017 model. I've heard the same stories, and it does sound worrying, but I've been using it for a year with no problems... yet.

I expected to hate it, especially with the Touch Bar and my previous experience with Apple input devices. But I find I really love using it when I'm not 'docked' at my desk. Rebinding CAPSLOCK to ESC makes up for the lack of a tactile ESC key for Vim.
