Clavier Papillon : Ce qui plait
With over 80 million MacBooks equipped with this technology since 2015, the clavier Papillon has earned both praise and criticism. Let’s examine its atouts :

Apple’s engineers reduced keyboard thickness by 40% compared to scissor-switch models. This allowed the creation of MacBook Air models under 17mm thick.
2. Une course des touches optimisée
Despite its minimalist design, the Butterfly mechanism provides a consistent 0.4mm key travel while maintaining pressure distribution balance.
