Yes, I like the 2017 keyboard. I'm not ecstatic over it but definitely usable for me. I also like the touchbar. Maybe I'm just weird.

TouchBar is quite amazing once you know the gestures, too. Tapping and holding the volume/brightness key and sliding it for super-precise volume or brightness control is an amazing feature.

> I reckon keyboards are a matter of taste ultimately.

People can debate about the feel of the keyboard but its fact that the new keyboards are louder compared to the 2015 keyboard. The noise gets annoying when you are working late night.

There is lots of people happily typing on Cherry MX Blue switches, notorious for being loud. I know some using IBM Model M which is even louder.

Even the noise is a subjective taste, ultimately.
