Do you use external keyboards for your laptop

Not usually , I prefer Laptop for Demostration purpose only . I use it when i am travelling . I dont give much more burdon to keyboard . I use Dasktop PC for All Work using TVSE GOLD Keyboard . That Is best for all type of typing load. HAppy MyLotting

Laptop keyboards are a pain to adapt to for me because they're all designed differently. My laptop is my primary computer, and I always find it uncomfortable to type on a desktop or another laptop because the keyboard is set up different and the keys aren't all in the same place. I don't use external keyboards, though, because I believe it's an unnecessary expense. I can eventually get used to the keyboard, if I use it enough. One of my biggest annoyances is that infernal mousepad directly underneath my keyboard. I can't tell you how many times I've accidentally erased large chunks of work all because I moved my arm the wrong way. I finally got a computer that allows me to turn it off. I'll sometimes forget to turn it off before I type, and end up paying for it in the end.

Hello.. I use a Thinkpad too. A Dell and an Acer before that. For me it makes sense to use the laptop keyboard. It takes a couple of days to get used to when I change laptops. At work I use a desktop with the usual bulky keyboard. All in all I think it is better that I am flexible between different keyboards. The best way to avoid RSI. At the end of the day we can train our fingers to fly on any keyboard! Cheers

no i dont but i am planning to buy separate number pad.... it's so hard that laptops dont have one... happy mylotting and have a great weekend.

I actually prefer typing on my laptop. I find it much quicker than on a loose keyboard. This could be because I'm a touch typist and I don't need to look at the keys, my eyes are always on the screen, which is at a comfortable distance for me. When I bought my laptop, the sales person suggested I may want to buy a USB mouse for it, but I like using the touch pad on my laptop more than a mouse. I find it easier to control and my right hand does not ache afterwards, as it did when I used a mouse. I also like my laptop for taking up so much less space than a desktop. Everything is in one piece of equipment, rather than having separate keyboard, mouse, screen and tower.

I have one but I don't use it in laptop. May laptop was damage so I am now using it at my Desktop. I found it more convenient so if ever I'll be choosing a wired or a wireless keyboard, I'll definitely choose the unwired. but of course it needs battery.

I only use an external keyboard when I have my laptop attached to a docking station when I am using it like a desktop computer

Hmm...I don't use my laptop's keyboard anymore. That's because I'm really used to my desktop and only use laptop when necessary. But one major factor is that the laptop's keyboard is having a problem right now, it lost like 8 keys so I'm using an external keyboard. I also use a wireless mouse for ease. I kind of makes the laptop look like a desktop. Heehee. Have a nice day.
