For me, not layout but key force and travel became problems. I've ended up with a Kensington keyboard... Ci73 that has a "low profile" and "laptop-type" keys/keyswitches. Much better... The 73 is wired. They also make a wireless model; however, wireless keyboards have had security issues, particularly at the time I settled on the Kensington, and so I avoided wireless. I have it adjusted to the "right height" behind a 3M gel wristpad model that, unfortunately, is no longer made. Amongst the choices in this category, note that IBM and now Lenovo make a ThinkPad style external keyboard. The last I checked, there were two revisions. I think the former had an integrated trackpad while the latter did not. Opinions varied as to which was better. YMMV. But for some, it may be worth considering key action and travel, particularly if you've ever found yourself favoring a laptop keyboard (perhaps before so many of them went "chiclet") over a desktop/external keyboard.
