Laptops . with glass keyboards are nothing new
Last year, Lenovo released the Yoga Book with two displays. The bottom display showcases a QWERTY keyboard layout and doubles as a drawing pad.
While this feature seems very interesting, it should be noted that it does not provide proper feedback when typing into it, leaving users with many errors.
Of course, Apple has found a solution to this problem for you.
A patent has been spotted from the Cupertino company that shows a keyboard with raised glass keys. Essentially, when you press a key, it provides tactile feedback that lets you know if the key has actually been pressed.
There's also a chance that Apple could try a flexible glass surface that bends when you press down, which would certainly be easier to use.
Whichever version it adopts, it will definitely be better than the Butterfly keyboard found on the current generation of MacBooks.
Let's not forget that, on top of everything else, the Butterfly keyboard was notorious for collecting dust and dirt under the keys, making them difficult to use.
The problem was fixed by adding a membrane under the keys to block out dust and dirt, but the distance between them still bothers several consumers.
Glass keyboards are a better and more beautiful solution than natural keyboards. You won't have to worry about dust and dirt, and - most importantly - they last longer than natural ones.
