< IMG SRC = "/Uploads/Blogs/33/1b/IB-FRVJ2HDNS_491F5650.jpg" Alt = "Apple patented a new keyboard for MacBook"/> ~ ~ ~ < P > Apple is experimenting again with keyboards for future MacBook Air and Pro, and this time it is a technology that can radically change the usual way of input. The new patent revealed by Appleinsider describes a keyboard with a mini-gluce, where each key can display characters that are dynamically changing & mdash; from language layouts to special icons.

< p >Unlike the unsuccessful attempts of the past, such as the Touch Bar sensory panel or unreliable butterfly keyboard, the new system will retain the traditional scissors mechanism and will bet on the aluminum keys with built-in miniature LEDs that form the displayed symbols. This will not only give up the usual LED backlight, but also significantly expand the captomy of keyboard.

For example, in graphic editors, keyboards may display appropriate tools. At the same time, Apple clearly seeks to avoid the mistakes of the past, based on the usual physics and minimal power consumption.

< P > However, as in the case of most patents, it is unknown whether with & Rsquo; a similar keyboard will appear in the nearest MacBook models or remain experimentation. But if the company decides to introduce this technology into real products, we can expect a new era of adaptive input, where the keyboard will cease to be static and become a reasonable interface that changes with the user's tasks.
