  Well, they're more ergonomic because you can align your hands with your arms, instead of twisting your hands at an angle. This is a matter of fact. You are entitled to prefer a flat keyboard -- that's entirely your choice -- but it doesn't change the ergonomic reality. > Besides, people also use laptops and may not want to swap their keyboard. Laptops are not ergonomic, and nobody who knows the facts will use them for long periods for precisely that reason. However, you can make them less damaging to your health by putting the laptop on a riser and using an external keyboard.

    Out of curiosity I google searched ergonomic keyboards, found Wikipedia page, saw it stated they may reduce risks of injury but that there is no clear evidence of benefit. My own reality is I used a "ergonomic" labeled keyboard that I felt caused me more discomfort. Of course there are convenience trade offs somewhere and laptops to me fall under convenience.
