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 :)

Yes it is like that by default. I've found it annoying that sometimes I press Caps Lock and it doesnt turn on, so I've found an app called CapsLockNoDelay which prevents this from happening. So every time I press Caps Lock soft or hard, it works.

I thought it was a hardware thing. Interesting

Fun fact, caps lock lights on every keyboards is an OS thing, even off-brand plug in USB keyboards on Windows computers. The OS (or rather the keyboard driver somewhere) tells the keyboard to turn on the light.
