I’ve basically swapped to just using external keyboards even for laptops. Laptop keyboards aren’t as durable anymore. I had to get mine repaired on my heavy duty one. I’m past warranty now so I’d rather not risk it.
This is what my portable set up looks like. (Bonus watch in the picture)
Love the orange-grey aesthetic. Also, the watch looks like it was designed by Compaq in 1994. 😄
Not too far off. It was made in 1999 to mimic the look of the 80s https://www.seiko-design.com/en/museum-en/vol8-en/
