In fact, Apple has a patent for this exact tech designed to ‘prevent and/or alleviate contaminant ingress.'” “This flexible enclosure is quite obviously an ingress-proofing measure to prevent the mechanism from seizing up under the brutal onslaught of microscopic dust. They note that this design appears to be specifically implemented to stop “contaminant ingress” (dust particles and the like) and has nothing to do with making the keyboard quieter while someone types on it: The publication has a quick teardown of the new mid-2018 MacBook Pro keyboard, which indicates that each key now features a “thin, silicone barrier” underneath the cap.

Apple officially has new MacBook Pro models out there, having unveiled them earlier this week. ![]()
