A new Apple patent filed this week has revealed the company is studying a new MacBook keyboard that could provide adjustable feedback to users, letting them vary the tactile force and the audible feedback of each key depending on how hard you press it, customization, and other factors.
If that sounds a lot like a mechanical keyboard for Mac then you’re quite right. A new patent filed by Apple this week titled “keyboard with adjustable feedback” notes a new method “for controlling feedback provided by key mechanisms of a keyboard or by a similar input device”, specifically “a keyboard system with adjustable and variable feedback.” The embedded images reveal a MacBook keyboard in the first instance, but there’s no reason to believe this couldn’t also be applied to Apple’s desktop Mac keyboards as well.
