The key travel on those keyboards is phenomenal. How do you not injure yourself? Who is still using non-laptop style keyboards and why? :/

Which keyboards are you talking about? Key travel is not the issue, it is the actuation and positive response of the switch that matter.

Any 'desktop' style keyboard with big fat keys that travel down more than a few mm.

I want as little key travel as possible. Typing on a desktop keyboard is slow and tiring.

I'm not sure about your 'desktop' distinction, as many laptop keyboards (the MacBook Pro and many Windows laptops for that matter) have bigger keys than, say, a Model M-type standalone keyboard.
