I've been using an external keyboard (Realforce 87U at work. A 104 w/ Cherry Blues at home).

Other than the coffee-shop crowd, how many of you would say you're exclusively a laptop-keyboard user? Not a dig, just wondering.

If Apple offered an iPad Pro, running OSX with USB ports (or a thunderbolt port usb hub) for a physical keyboard, I would switch over in a heartbeat.

I actually use my laptop keyboard almost exclusively (my setup is MBP + external monitor). I have an external keyboard that I use every now and then, but I love the portability of being able to pick up and move.

Even though I have a full desk setup with keyboard, mouse, I do spend quite a bit traveling for work. Also, its very convenient to occasionally unplug and move into the living room so I can spend time with my family if i need to work late.

I have (and when I need to, carry around) a KBC Poker when I'm traveling and it was worked out well. I don't use the mouse for anything but web browsing honestly and if I'm doing that or working late, I'm not really effectively getting any work done anyway.

I mean, I see the appeal though...it's just the typing experience on that keyboard sucks so much to me it's borderline-unbearable.

I have an old model-M, and I love it, but I don't use it often. I sit in a recliner quite a lot and that doesn't work.

I did build myself an oversized desk recently, so probably I should get the M back out and have it on the desk for occasional use.

People using laptops to program without external keyboards or many monitors is one of those things that is a lot more common than you think!

I am so used to my laptop keyboard, that even when I do plugin my real keyboard, I end up using the one on my laptop.
