In this video, Josh discusses the benefits of using a desktop keyboard over a laptop keyboard, especially if you use your laptop frequently for work, gaming, or as your primary computer. He points out that laptop keyboards are often cramped due to the device's size constraints, which can impede typing accuracy and speed. Desktop keyboards, being larger and more spacious, allow for faster and more accurate typing due to their better layout, distinct key areas, and the use of mechanical switches that offer superior tactile feedback. Moreover, desktop keyboards come with adjustable angles and ergonomic accessories, helping to prevent wrist discomfort and repetitive strain injuries often associated with extended laptop use. Josh suggests that investing in an external desktop or high-quality mechanical keyboard, which can be affordable, can significantly enhance your typing experience and overall comfort.

In this segment, Josh discusses the differences between laptop and desktop keyboards. He suggests that if you use your laptop extensively for work, gaming, or as a main computer, investing in a desktop keyboard can significantly improve your experience. He highlights that laptop keyboards are constrained by the laptop’s size, often leading to a cramped layout, particularly in smaller laptops (under 15 inches). Desktop keyboards, on the other hand, are generally 18 inches wide, providing spacious and distinct areas for letters, the numpad, arrow keys, and function buttons. Josh emphasizes that the more compact and squished layout of laptop keyboards may hinder typing accuracy, especially for those with average-sized hands.
