Hi there.
I totally agree with you. This is why I purchased an external keyboard.
I've never enjoyed keyboards on Microsoft or Apples. and much prefer a good
old fashioned tactile external keyboard.
I purchased the same computer as you just at the end of the year and it is
only now that I'm able to secure sighted assistance in getting started,
because of lock-down. Though rather than being very excited about this I'm
feeling pretty sick and anxious.
I personally hate keyboards on laptop's as they always seem so cramped. In
some cases you get machines that do not discriminate between the QUERTY and
6 pack and the 6 pack and the numeric.
I'm total and have very poor tactile skills, so I'm virtually unable to use
one of those flush type models.
Another thing I hate is the slippyness or sleeckness of my new Mac, my
fingers just slip all over the place. I am very nerviouse and my fingers
are shaking with the stress.
As you say Apple are very focused on looks and my own computer, in gun metal
gray probably looks great for the show off's
As for the new Trackpad, well what can I say? Better just saying nothing at
all.
Now if we had reverse the process of inventions and it was only now that
Apple had announced the latest technology of F keys we all would be
delighted and celebrating.
Andy Logue.

Subject: mac os big sur + mbp 16 2020: feel totally ripped off by the touch
bar
I am ranting on this post, but I really cannot stand this touch bar anymore.
It's completely useless on a functional basis, as when trying to do stuff in
an efficient way, such as switching applications and using the function keys
for doing the switches, I have to keep massaging the damn touch bar with a
finger long enough for it to decide to wake up at some point. Each time I do
this, it's like a 4 to 6 second wait. that time is enough for me to have to
remember either the line of math or code or whatever I was keeping in memory
to move across to another application or such.
I really cannot stand this absolute farce of a feature which is meant to
make things look pretty but has no use at all when it comes to being
productive. And having a mac for me is meant to be synonymous with being
efficient and productive, least path of resistance, it just works, those
kind of things. The touch bar is the complete contrarian design idiocy that
for some reason creeped into a perfectly awesome laptop which is the macbook
pro 16 inch.
I spent over 7000 australian dollars for this, and the touch bar itself
jjust makes me want to throw this laptop out of the window at least 5 times
a day, simply because this entire row of touch screen pretty pretty but
totally useless b buttons is there not wanting to wake up snappilly and
respond to what I want it to do.
A complete thumbs down on whoever gave the green light on this most stupid
feature.
