Laptop Keyboard Vs Desktop Keyboard (4 Reasons You Need One!)

[@mdrealtorchic]

The exact video I needed to confirm what my masseuse was saying as to the possible reason for my pain. Never heard of this before. Thanks so much!

[@AskaComputerGeek]

Awesome - I'm glad it helped!

[@tewartu6993]

thank you so much. now i can persuade my parents that i actually need an external keyboard

[@walledsand]

Especially the ergonomic one

[@mrsaltana1060]

Same lol

Another reason is to be able to lift your screen to your eyelevel. Slouching and bad posture will end up hurting you bad in the medium and long run.

[@AskaComputerGeek]

Very true!

[@gosth81]

this is what i found out after 1 year using my laptop 8 hours a day

[@arvincabugnason6728]

top reasons is dirt getting into the laptop keys and the constant force vibration that could damage internals.

[@Rina-eg7zw]

As for the third point, I actually prefer the feel of a laptop keyboard lol

[@jamin3131]

I was gonna say this. When I first got a laptop I spent hours researching a seperate keyboard with flatter keys and shorter travel. Eventually I realized that I just wanted a my laptop keyboard but a bit more robust. Thankfully they are becoming more popular, at least available now.

Laptop style keyboards are show horses, not work horses. Like you say, they are fine if you only use them for a couple of hours or so at a time. They had never bothered me before, but I started using the Logitech MX Keys--short travel keys, low profile--as my work from home keyboard last fall. I was using it for many hours day after day and a couple months later I started getting finger stiffness I had never experienced in 25 years of pretty heavy typing. I think the short travel just led to me smacking my fingers against the base plate too many times. And I don't think I'm even THAT heavy of a typer. But if you are a fast touch typer sometimes you just start applying more force without even realizing it.

Finally, someone speak about this

[@ezotemua4434]

thank you so much for posting this video. i'm going to be WFH and the recruiter said I will be using a laptop :(. I said to myself that's not gonna work for me.

[@AskaComputerGeek]

Glad it could help!

[@MethmalDhananjaya]

How about N- Key rollover? how about the fact that Laptop Internal keyboard is actually a PS/2 keyboard so its less stress for the CPU and USB Controller, AND IT works better on BIOS, And response and smoother compared to USB external keyboard?

[@rasputin7951]

Does it make it so I can press more than 2 keys at a time (for gaming reasons)

[@joelim5010]

I find my ideapad gaming laptop 3 keyboard is much better than my current royal clutch mechanical keyboard.

[@marioprieto2335]

great information....I really need a mechanical key board for my note book, it's too small, ..........

[@robinsaunders6720]

Thank you! Excellent explanation!!

[@chickennugget_32]

I have a G14 and I used to use my 100% external keyboard and I had thought that was too big, maybe I'll try to use the external keyboard for a bit instead.

[@sergiorodriguez920]

Good reasons, I would add a fifth one: using the laptop keyboard makes it gets greasy from your fingers oils and it looks no good

[@AskaComputerGeek]

Good point! Thanks for watching!

[@lacreatura3027]

for me laptop keys are also baby weak like pressing a bit too hard anywhere outside of center mass of the key will just make the retainers snap not the best for playing games and on top of that some laptops just remove the numpad keys completely to save space, which of course will prohibit functions (or at least limit them) in some games that use numpad keys (or other kinds of applications) one is a dome of a plastic and the other is a thin layer of plastic protecting vital key components i think its clear which one will get by for longer

[@catwithpizza]

Oh my god thank you my parents actually got me a razer keyboard now i can type fast and also game!!

[@nolife097]

I bought a mechanical one i love it Mine is red switches

[@DailyMovieMania]

I will buy a gaming laptop but i won't ppay with it's keyboard i don't want to mess it up and also gaming is harder in a small keyboard like that

[@cjeccher8128]

do you use a separate mouse too or just use the touchpad on the laptop ?

[@nigan._]

Mouse is more better touch pad

[@LSD317]

@@nigan._ yes

[@JudithAdams-pw8fn]

what a about a non plug in keyboard..remote do you have a suggestion? I mean wireless

[@no.6791]

This is great I'll show it to my dad

[@AskaComputerGeek]

Hahaha hope it works!

[@rubyciide5542]

I type like 140-150 wpm on a laptop And 110 on a mechanical keyboard

[@chedinbuildsstudio5144]

But I love short key travel and no noise . And I super HATE long key travel and loud noises . And tactile feedback is overrated .

[@alacheta8621]

My workplace changed out our keyboards to a smaller format, non-mechanical keys… Initially, we all loved the lack of sound… but within 2 months, over HALF the staff were unhappy with the amount of force needed for the “softer” keys. We bought new keyboard ourselves. Full sized, mechanical keys … aahhhh. 🙏

using external keyboard for every laptopsince 2004

[@dropnight4549]

ive been using a laptop keyboard for several years and never had any of these problems for the first one, i find it more comfortable to have a smaller keyboard so that i can type more comfortably, a mechanical keyboard would just feel awkward to use for me for the second one, i mainly use it for gaming so it doesnt have much of an affect, but i do use those smaller buttons a decent amount and it would just feel weird if they were placed farther apart third one, ive used it so much that i start to hear the sounds of my fingers touching and letting go, and that sound is what i consider as a tapping sound now, so the sound from a mechanical one would confuse me multiple times, and might even make it harder for me to hear properly when playing competitively 4th, ergonomics is pretty fair, it could cause that, but about 5 years have passed and im still fine, without any pain whatsoever, i dont know if its because im lucky or the way i type doesnt have this problem (i taught myself to type and its quite different from standard method from what ive seen), but i doubt i would need to worry about that, if my hands do get too big for a laptop i might need to change, but so far its seems fine side note, there are some habits that im used to doing with laptops, not something i can explain since its basically micro movements, but it would feel completely wrong to use an external keyboard with those habits, but if i was using a computer then i dont think i would have that problem... maybe one day when i have money...

[@accentontheoff]

Hope you don’t mind me asking but as you can imagine it is a big deal - is point 4 verified by some kind of medical specialist. It’s a very important point and thank you for bringing it up. No one seems to talk about it and I have always hated laptop keyboards for this very reason

[@Alchem1st75]

This is awful. Full size keyboards are horrible for typing if you don't have them centered. The hating on the laptop keyboard makes no sense either. There is a little resistance before you can press down on the key. Mechanical keyboards are just to heavy in terms of resistance and they are to tall. The large and deep gaps between the keys makes the hand unable to comfortably glide over the keys.

[@Welther47]

Reason four: You are not supposed to have your wrists resting on anything when you type - it's poor economics and bad form.

[@elimzfn6468]

Does external keyboard have delay on laptop?

I personally absolutely DESPISE desktop keyboards.

[@victorrodriguez859]

[@nikonlover1]

This is actually the exact opposite. I find that I type on laptop keyboards much better than regular keyboards. More accurate, and faster. I decided to research this because I'm looking for a keyboard that's more like a laptop keyboard than a regular one.

[@alacheta8621]

If it’s the keyboard you’ve spent most of your time on, that makes sense. You do you. The additional space on a full sized keyboard might throw you off. Having worked with both, the larger keyboard requires less intentional movement for accuracy. I never have to look at the full sized keyboard. And accounting functions are a breeze with a full sized keyboard.
