Unless I have an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse, using an external keyboard with a laptop is a shitty experience for me. And if I’m at home and trying to get work done, I’m using my desktop PC.
I so strongly prefer the mechanical keyboard and trackball to the built-in gear that if I’m doing any serious typing, a keyboard and mouse are always attached.
Why? Unless you’re avid about the Track point, you’re going to have a USB mechanical attached.

Do people really use a secondary keyboard when laptops already have one? Generally attached to the screen and non-removable?
I do if I can raise the laptop up so that the screen is where it should be for good ergonomics.
