Oh my god! I hate using anything that is not my keyboard anymore. Laptops are not ‘lap’tops for me since I will just be slow without my keyboard. The split keyboard with many thumb keys is tough to achieve on laptop.

Yeah, that is the downside to making your keyboard your own. Anytime I use someone else's computer I always spend a few seconds wondering why I just turned caps lock on and wrote a bunch of gibberish.
I had a friend with a kinesis dvorak keyboard.

Happily he would put it in "guest" qwerty mode when I had to type on it. It was hard enough typing in a cereal bowl.

The caps lock thing always happens with me haha, the funnest thing is other people are unable to understand hitting caps lock is more ergonomic than right ctrl.
Others remap it to ESC...
ESC on tap, CTRL on hold is the way!
Japanese keyboard layout + kmonad is how I cope.
