Ask Slashdot: Which Laptop Has The Best Keyboard?

Posted by EditorDavid on Sunday November 12, 2017 @05:00PM from the keeping-up-with-keypresses dept.

Slashdot reader Rock21k is thinking of replacing an old laptop. But... All newer laptops seem to have wide spacing between the keyboard keys, which I hate... At one time, this used to be for consumer laptops but most major companies have done it for business laptops as well... Probably over time I might get used to it, but definitely not the first choice. I understand I can use an external keyboard but that defeats the purpose of a laptop! Do you also hate wide spacing between keyboard keys? Which brand do you find least annoying? Leave your best answers in the comments. Which laptop has the best keyboard?

Easy, it's muscle memory...using something every day makes you able to move on it without thinking, and that kind of training makes you faster. Also, your test with the previous keyboard does not mean the newer is better, just that you learned the new one (forgetting the old). For a good comparison you'd need to take back data of an old typing speed test taken on your last day with your old keyboard and match it against the one you just did.
