You’re not supposed to do anything else except what you want to. I’ve typed on a laptop sitting below an external monitor for since 2006ish. I do this because I want a narrow keyboard without a numeric keypad centred below my displays. I want a touchpad directly below the keyboard so that can reach it quickly before returning to the home row. I want everything as symmetrical as possible. I touch type with a non qwerty layout so I want my keyboard to have the same feel regardless of if I’m in the office or away on business. I find heavy, long throw keys make my wrists tired so I use a very light pressure short travel much more comfortable over the long term. Eg the kind of switches you get on laptops. I have an IBM model m and a Pok3r with MX Brown switches on the for comparison and I don’t really care for either of them. Your usecases maybe different from mine. I’m fine with that.
