This is why I lug around a standard keyboard to go with my laptop. I know exactly where the keys are, including directional and navigation.

I've done that, too, when I was going to have to do real work on the laptop. For me, laptop keyboards have two problems. The key spacing is wrong. I don't have laptop-keyboard-sized hands. The other problem is key travel. I like keys that push a bit farther than laptop keys do.

Yep. Desktop keyboard were designed for typing. Laptop keyboards were designed to fit inside a laptop.
