The 2015MBP one was the last one that was passable for me, what came after is horrible. Even the new MBP that has real ports again is still not as good as the 2015 in terms of keyboard.
Thinkpad keyboards are great (I own a couple T400’s and used to daily drive a X61s), but the latest MacBook Pros have real, actually good keyboards afaik too.
I've tried them but they're nowhere near Lenovo quality sadly. Unfortunately Lenovo is on a downward trend with ever less travel with each generation so I guess they'll be on par in a few years :(
All currently shipping Macbook Airs and Pros have a keyboard that is, as far as I can tell, identical to the great one from 2015 that we love. They switched them all back after the butterfly keyboard fiasco, but hardware pipelines are 2-4 years deep and it took a while.
Also they have matte screens and real keyboards.
