>Apple Wired Keyboard/logitech k120...how do you prefer this? it's just one step above typing on a touchscreen, keys are mushy feeling and i keep mistyping because i don't get feedback. also using for long periods of time is murder on the wristshow long have you been held hostage by these kinda keyboards that you prefer them now
I'd much rather have a device with a keyboard..
The lack of a physical keyboard rules it out for me
the keyboard is so small, why not just use your cell phone? yes your on screen keyboard is far from ideal but it has already built some muscle memory. typing on a tiny keyboard with a non-standard layout is just painful.
Why would I ever want a laptop with a software keyboard?
Not very. Try touch typing on a touchscreen keyboard with haptic feedback
Please do this. Slide out keyboards are really something I miss. The touch screen keyboard never respond properly and I have so many typos, the autocorrect suggest things that aren't even words... with a qwerty keyboard 99% of those issue are null and void.
I had a blackberry until last year. I love a physical keyboard. I know I'm the minority but I'll never be able to type as well on a screen with no tactile feedback as I can on a physical keyboard.
for serious typing, replacing a physical keyboard? no way. You really need good haptic feedback for touch typing.
I do miss keyboards on devices. This is something I'd really buy.
