Micro Keyboard vs Keyboard

[Reverie]

Micro Keyboards and Keyboards have a similar function of course - to type on computers and other digital devices. Which do you prefer and why?

Here are some things to consider!

Micro Keyboards:
- Size and Portability
- Key Layout - fewer keys typically
- Tactile Feedback - may be different, not always as "clicky"
- Used for - compactness and portability, perhaps for a smaller screen and where messages may be slightly shorter.

Regular Keyboard
- Size and Ergonomics - Often the layout feels better to use and includes the standard QWERTY layout.
- Key layout - full set of keys including function keys, number pad, and other keys sometimes for more functions such as music.
- Tactile Feedback - can be more "clicky"
- Used for - wide range of tasks such as word processing, gaming, programming, activities that require extensive typing.

I just use a normal everyday gaming keyboard that costs me around £180 I mean it has the speed, the lights and colours, the extra keys for programming and also has USB and volume control all your gaming needs near your fingers while gaming

I always prefer regular keyboards because I use keyboards only while using a PC. For other devices I don't really feel the need of a keyboard. The in-built touchscreen keyboards are good enough for other devices I use (mobiles, tabs).
