Does anyone else out here have a hard time typing on a laptop keyboard vs an old-school slanted one?

Having grown up typing on regular typewriters, including the trusty manual Olivetti's, I find the flat laptop design irritating.

I have a wireless full-size w/ numeric keyboard but somehow USB Receivers (keyboard & mouse) seem to have gone missing. I'm certain I kept them in the USB hub when I packed up in Aug but they weren't there when I unpacked.

@see_the_sus I grew up using manual typewriters. Electric in high school. Later the keyboards with desktops. Love the flat laptop design because I have issues with my wrists and I use it as a wrist rest and only lift my fingers. So far I'm staving off carpal tunnel surgery using this technique. 😉

We're all different in our body mechanics and our approach to what we like.

Hope you find your full-size keyboard soon!

Interesting. I never considered that a laptop keyboard would be beneficial in that way.
I developed tendonitis back in 1992 while working at Target as a cashier when there were no conveyor belts or hand-free scanning.
Thankfully I got excellent physical therapy and only have problems now when it's very cold out or if I've been on the computer for more than 4+ hours.
