At the office I have a real keyboard (das keyboard; edit: I mention the name meant as a reference to my style preference, but definitely would recommend it as well), but I can’t use that at home while in bed, etc. (which is where a laptop shines).

I do. I like to have a compact laptop directly under the centre of a larger monitor.

I touch type and want to keep everything symmetrical around a central point.

I avoid using mice or keyboards with numeric keypads because I try to reduce the amount of off one sided movements.

I try to drive everything from the keyboard and from the homerow if I can.

If I really have to use a mouse, moving my right hand a few centimetres to use a trackpad is, for me, much more ergonomic than a larger movement to reach past a numeric keypad for a mouse.

I do 100% on my development work on a 2015 MacBook Pro. I work remotely from different places so I value the consistency in my work flow (same keyboard, same trackpad). I would've normally already purchased a new MBP this year but I'm actively considering alternatives for the first time in 8 years due to these keyboard issues and the idiotic touchbar issue. Currently looking at Surface Pro and Thinkpad X1.
