2022 macbook air

I bought a new 2022 macbook air to replace my 2015 macbook pro and I see that the keyboard is different on the air which I am not liking. The keys on the air are shallower. Can I buy another keyboard that would work with my air?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7

If you mean can you purchase an external keyboard, with the type of keys you prefer, then the answer is "yes". However, if you are asking can you have the built-in keyboard on your MacBook Air replaced with another one, then the answer is "no."


Because of the thickness of the MBA, Apple elected to use keys will less travel. If you are unhappy with them, you have a couple of choices, at this point:

  1. Keep the laptop and "get used to these keys" over time, OR
  2. You have 14 days, from the purchase date, to return the laptop for a full refund.
