    laptop keyboards

    I got a killer deal on my gaming laptop an MSI stealth G66 so I bought it on the spot. One thing I never thought to try out was the keyboard. it has these very soft sunken keys that I cannot type on. it weird that there's a difference between keyboards but its huge. I type perfectly fine at work but using this thing fucking sucks. I'm going to order a wireless keyboard. I've owned this for over a year and it hasn't gotten any better.

    Anyone else ever deal with this?

    Best keyboards on a laptop

    Pretty sure you can add a gaming card

    Return your MSI and get a thinkpad

    Here's the wireless one

    Lenovo, the current keeper of the ThinkPad brand, has long sought to capitalize on the brand’s cachet, offering many ThinkPad-branded docks, wireless speakers, and other accessories. So it’s only natural that the company would want to offer one of the best parts of the ThinkPad experience—the keyboard—as a standalone accessory.

    I found Lenovo keyboards suck.

    HP are my favorite but they can break easily. I kinda think 2 year warranties are the minimum you want with HP laptops. Second one in a row where I needed shit fixed in the 12-24 month frame.

    Not all lenovo's are thinkpads

    My last thinkpad has been going 5 years after dropping it from high up and the fan stopped working. Still no issue.

    Just upgraded to a max'd out P14s and the keyboard is great as per usual for thinkpads.

    Suck a dick

    I don’t want to switch from my MSI, it handles all my gaming while on multiple screens. I love the machine just hate the keyboard. I’m going to order a Bluetooth keyboard, I didn’t know if anyone else experienced the same issue.

    my gp66 3080 rtx arrived today.

    no real complaints about the keyboard tbh but i havent heard speakers this bad since the mid 90s.

    im having an honest to god 'how is this real life' moment after using macbook pro speakers for the last 10+ years.

    i appreciate that it cost me 25% of a macbook pro dont get me wrong but this exactly the quality i would expect from a pair of $15 toy speakers.

    I learned to type 50 some years ago on this type of keyboard. This is one where the old technology is better. There's a reason for the negative incline. You don't have to stretch your fingers so far and the back of your palms don't contact any surface.

    When typing on a negative tilt keyboard I'm over 60 wpm with few mistakes. But with the flat keyboards on today's laptops I can't type very fast and make a lot of mistakes due to having to stretch my fingers and the back of my palms hit the surface quite often causing me to fat finger.

    When sonatine misses a meal, the stock market drops. Said he was going to lose a hundred pounds. He's only got 120 pounds to go.
