Which keyboard is better and why is it the chicklet style?

>chicklet style keyboards
oh fuck me, I'd rather type raw ASCII codes byte by byte on a 0/1 keyboard that have to deal with that shit
>>51736240
>laptop dies
>buy actual PC
>too used to laptop keyboard, normal keyboard feels wrong
I'll get used to it but it sucks for now

Get a wrist rest.
After Topre and MX brown switches, good chiclets are actually quite nice to use. I don't understand where the hate-boner comes from.

It's nothing to do with that, it's the keys.

Just not durable, or suitable for sustained use.
I break the space and enter keys on them (or at least, I did on the two I used before I went glorious mechanical keyboard master race)

Maybe try not hitting the keys so hard.
>>51736240
Generic dell keyboards are way better than chicklet crap, and probably cheaper

Then stop sperging out on your fucking keys like a neanderthal.

OP is confirmed faggot
i like buckling springs and black alps.
but i love the short travel of scissor switches
Cherry MX or GTFO
I remember when I ordered a C2D Macbook back in the day. Looking at pictures I thought the 'chicklet' ketboard looked so odd, and I was worried if I'd get used to it. Of course in the end it was totally fine.

it all depends on the quality of the keyboard
for instance, apple chiclet boards are leagues ahead of whatever logitech membrane bullshit that gets recommended here for a budget board
but, it still doesn't compare to the feel of a nice topre board (type heaven, happy hacking, etc.)

Apple laptop keyboards keys fail regularly. Designed to look good and fail. Replacement? $400.

Scissor switches are objectively faster than mechanical switches.
Don't know what's the problem with chicklets are, I don't own one, but I've used it, don't understand the hatred
I'm a simple man with my simple K120
If I'm ever going to upgrade, it will probably be some mechanical
