It would’ve been neat to see such a keyboard included with the new Mac Pro. Seems that would’ve been a good time to do it, a new “Cadillac” keyboard to accompany their new “Cadillac” desktop. In time, or right away, it would be available for standalone purchase and would also be part of the next iMac and iMac Pro update, whenever that happens (2020 or 2021).

In the meantime any current iMac, Mac mini, or non-Touch Bar notebook user could buy it.

I think if the tech/feature was available to more of the line (built into the Air as well, included with the iMac and Mac Pro and available as a standalone purchase), it would be viewed as more of a “part of the whole Mac experience”. And that may be where they’re heading. Just seems like this week would’ve been a good time to kick that off. At $5,999, such a keyboard being part of the new pro desktop would’ve made sense.

And then trickle down elsewhere throughout 2020.

I don’t see it being a MacBook Pro-only thing forever (and if it is, it’s probably never going to be much more than it is currently...a half-baked, niche feature that never reached its full potential, having only been present on one line of the Mac roster after 2-3 years). Wider availability/use - with every Mac user having access - would be the best thing for (and help spur) ongoing, active growth and development.
