Nobody uses function keys but rapey sweaty nerds.

Of course not, they're great when you run out of easy to remember emacs key bindings.

Real shame that you're being forced to buy the new MacBook.

you know you can change that right?
I have it so brightness and sound is FN+[button]

At work, our timesheet website requires us to the use the minus key on the keypad. You can't use the one next to zero or paste a dash character in.

It's written by retards who use Excel. Kill me know.

Honestly, I'm surprised apple hasn't made the entire keyboard a touchscreen yet.

It would eliminate their keytravel problem because you could make the keyboard mechanism as thin as the display is, and it would only be marginally worse than the current butterfly mechanism which is basically like tapping on a screen anyway.

That concept would be nice if they added force touch to the OLED bar.
