Hate new flat keyboard on MacBook Pro

Love my new MacBook Pro but HATE the thin/flat keyboard. I guess it's the way I type, but I fat-finger all the time making me far less efficient than before. I long for those heavy/chunky keyboards from decades ago (although I'm sure the noise of me hammering on one would drive my wife crazy).

For at least when I'm home and could have an external keyboard/trackpad/display setup, is there a keyboard anyone would recommend for me? I would prefer everything be Apple but they've already killed that by no longer making their own display. Is the external Apple keyboard also thin/flat? Is there an obvious go-to keyboard for people with my problem/complaint?

Thank you for any responses.

iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 9.3.4

any usb external usb keyboard that fits your issue, you can head to a brick and mortar store and try some out. "windows" keyboards generally work fine with macs.

questions about why Apple did something or failed should be sent directly to Apple.

You can let Apple know your concerns here

This is a volunteer forum. To speak directly with Apple call 1-800-MY-APPLE or go to apple.com/contact for a list of international phone numbers.

Choice of keyboard is personal preference. We can not recommend one that will "feel" right for you. As already suggested, go to a store and try the keyboards for yourself.

I don't consider it an Apple fail. For any design, some will love it and some will hate it. My wife hates that they got rid of all the ports and she has to use a dongle. I love it as I hardly ever need and it keeps the footprint smaller/lighter.

I was just hoping for recommendations on good external keyboards that are "chunkier" but work well w/ Macs.
