We have people at work that INSIST they need an external keyboard instead of the built in one.
I could understand if the laptop was off to the side or something. But they’ll just scoot the laptop back 6 inches then place the Apple Magic Keyboard exactly where the laptop was.
Have you tried the Logitech Mx keys? They’re very similar to the Magic Keyboard. Not quite as small, but then you have less of the Mac keyboard on non Mac OS quirks.
I so strongly prefer the mechanical keyboard and trackball to the built-in gear that if I’m doing any serious typing, a keyboard and mouse are always attached.
Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?

There’s no point then
Ha, I better not tell you about the Apple Keyboard I use with my Linux laptop then. Don’t like macOS much, but I love their flat keyboards.
Oh, and then I pair it with a very boring Dell mouse for extra style.
It’s too bad than no other OS has made the strides to compete with the Magic Trackpad though.
I’m happy with the flat keyboard too, but the touch pad is the killer interface on Macs

I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.

If they have a nub instead of a track pad, yes
But nubs are superior to trackpads!
Yes
Yes indeed! I use a QWERTY with international layout because I will not use an AZERTY keyboard ever again to do any sort of work. Fuck that noise.
