How Many Is Too Many?

While reading the latest line up recommendation for 2023 Mechanical Keyboards, and wanting to get one, I can’t help but wonder, how many is too many for external keyboards?

In randomness, I was asking to myself why some people even use external keyboard when they have a laptop with seemingly functional keyboard. I too actually got this question a lot when I used my external keyboard to type rather than my laptop internal keyboard. My keyboard wasn’t really functional, so I had to use an external keyboard rather than fixing it which would cost similar to low-end mechanical keyboard. But for some reason, rather than going to the repair place and wait for a day or two to get the laptop fixed, I got a portable keyboard from Logitech on their series combo which features MK240. I brought it traveling for a while and it was pretty durable. But way before that, I also got Gamen GK 100 which was a lot cheaper but has nice aesthetic. I have to say that gaming with the keyboard feels a lot better than using Logitech or the internal keyboard.

Then, there was a keyboard I got a long time ago, it was from Mikuso. The keyboard was $5 keyboard that I got so that I can use it on my laptop. I like the size of it that was small and fits a female handbag. However, compared to Logitech it was far inferior and somehow, I ended up not using them. Mikuso doesn’t really have adjustable back and it’s pretty small. So, if you have bigger hands, typing using this keyboard would be quite a challenge. It’s also noisy too but that’s what I like about it. The tuts are soft as well which makes typing a lot more fun compared to Gamen. But again, these three keyboards have different purpose and sizes too.

I was thinking of just giving one away but I’ll never know if one day they would become quite handy. Though ideally having one or two are enough when it comes to computer peripherals. Especially like before where I bought rollable silicone keyboard in the middle of nowhere because I needed to use my laptop. In Hindsight, it should have been better to fix the internal keyboard altogether. So, what do you think,how many is too many?

In another note, I will pick the winner from previous comment shortly Copilot AI: Seamless integration on windows 11. Good luck for those who has participated in that one.

Hahahahaha. I have one mechanical keyboard with clicky blue switches and I love it. 😄 But technically I have two external keyboards because I still have the keyboard from my 2001 iMac which isn't mechanical but it's like, psudo mechanical? lol. Anyway it still works and will talk to my PC laptop just fine.

It's the part under the key that you touch that determines what sound it makes/what the tactile feel is like.

Lol! I'm curious about that too. Yesterday was the 10.10 sale, and I was actually thinking about getting another one 🤣 For me, each of them has a unique vibe, so I suppose it's okay to have more than one as long as they continue to serve their purpose 😆
but honestly, if they're already taking up a lot of space then it's definitely too many 😄

The current trend is round keycaps and they are pretty cute. I wanted to have one from Logitech but eh, I already have one from them.

I prefer using the mechanical keyboard than the keyboard of the laptop. I love the clicking sounds from it

Right, that's what most people love about it, the clicking loud sound when you type.
