Which type of scissor mechanism does it have?

Does anyone have an idea of whether these keys still have a butterfly mechanism or not and how does the mechanism look like?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

If I’m not mistaken the model you have chosen does have the butterfly keyboard design. I know in the 16” pro they changed to an older mechanism design to help stop the issue of faulty keyboards.
