I don't want to spoil the Laptop keyboard by using that most of the time so connected external keyboard to laptop.
Besides it gives me little distance(based on keyboard cable length) between me & laptop. And also using external mouse.

Unless you're trying to do something bizaare like hiding your laptop in the next room and using an external monitor instead the length of the keyboard cable shouldn't matter. I've occasionally ran into cabling length issues because my desktop's tower is farther away than normal but none of those should be an issue with a normally used laptop.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I use external keyboard and mouse with my laptop when I'm developing. If I'm taking the laptop on vacation or something I only take the mouse. I can't stand the touchpad thing. Laptop keyboard isn't too bad but prefer a regular keyboard.

I use an external keyboard and monitor with my laptop at home, mostly because the onboard keyboard has poor tactile response and the monitor is vertically short (1366 x 768).

I am surprised that there is not an option for mechanical keyboards. It would be interesting to see how often they are used outside of gaming.

I'm using a Filco Majestouch Tenkeyless.
It has Cherry MX brown switches, so is medium on the clatter-o-meter scale.

I use a Razer BlackWindow Ultimate Stealth at home (Cherry MX Brown switches), technically a gaming keyboard but I've mostly used the "gaming" features for coding (specifically, the additional macro keys are great for on-the-fly temporary code templates and some refactoring). Of course, I do quite a bit of gaming with it too, but I've never really needed macros in games. Makes using a "regular" keyboard kind of disappointing though...I really need to get a mechanical for work.

I use the same exact keyboard! Love it!

It's basically flat (in that it's standard QWERTY without a "break" in the middle), but with extra keys for zoom, media control and applications mapped to function keys (with a modifier key).
I've tried the split ones, but they are a PITA from my POV - they take too long to get used to, and cause a lot of hassle in the learning process. I did have a brief infatuation with Dvorak layout but while it's fast when you get used to it, as soon as you go near someone elses computer you are stuffed.

I approve of this keyboard. I use the same one (more or less) at work.
I have a Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard [^] at home which I like because I can remove the numeric keypad occasionally when I am not using it and it gives me more desk space. It will actually attach to the left side as well as the usual right side but after trying it for a couple of weeks I found it was too big a change for my old typing fingers to handle. I would probably change to a Logitech like I have at work (which is my own, not the company's) but I spent so much on the Sidewinder I want to wait until it breaks first - and it is very well made!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

It feels good to type on, unlike some. (The one which came with the PC was horrible, the keys were slightly too close together and the travel was "wrong")
