The Caps Lock button on MacBooks knows if you really want to press it. (alien.top)

Try to hit your CAPS Lock button as if it's a mistake and see what happens. Mine is reading my mind.

The difference between unintentional hit and an intentional one is very slight, but it knows :)

Yeah it’s a slight delay before it activates. Been on MacBooks since I got my first one in 2010.

It’s one of those things like faceid where it just works without you ever having to think about it.

Idk it activates pretty fast for me, I can't get it to not activate. 2023 M2 pro

there's a setting so that you can have to "long press" caps lock before it activates. Sometimes, the computer comes with it on by default.

I wonder if that's what OP is talking about.
