A real keyboard, with real touch and real keys

I normally would agree with this, but in reality, when I'm at home or in the office (ie most of my computer use time), I use a DAS keyboard anyway and even the "real key" laptop keyboards just don't compare to mechanical cherry-mx keys anyway, so for the times I use my laptops when I'm away, I don't think it really matters to me if the keyboard has real keys or if its a chiclet keyboard or whatnot.



Ha! I use a laptop keyboard at my desktop. Hands never leave home row. I loves me some nipple mouse!

I do like the nipple mouse, but on the other hand, I do my work in a keyboard-centric linux environment (tiling window manager, vim, keyboard-centric browser).


Yep. I never use the laptop's keyboard. Always use a USB keyboard and have never had any problems (e.g. drivers).

Doing real typing on a tiny little laptop keyboard is for masochists. No shortage of them though. How many people are struggling with a touchscreen at this very moment? Suckers.

I have not used a mouse in over a decade. And I'm not about to start tapping and pinching a tiny little screen because Apple spends a few hundred million on marketing. The sacrafice (speed, ease of use, productivity, etc) is not worth it.
