Yea I have an old Toshiba Satellite laying around that has an awesome keyboard. It’s too old to really do anything with but I love the design of it. The annoying thing is that Bluetooth keyboard I mentioned is compact as most laptops yet it still manages to have a good tactile feedback when you type on it and it was cheap so we know it can be done. Most laptops just feel “squishy” and start missing keystrokes if you type too fast. The worst I’ve encountered was one of the ones Microsoft offered for the Surface that was just a solid rubber thing. The keys didn’t actually press at all. I can’t understand what they were thinking with that. They had another option with actual keys but it wasn’t very good either even by laptop standards.

They got a lot worse after 2010 when “thin” happened. I’ve got an NEC laptop from 1998 that has an excellent keyboard.
