I love physical keyboards. This is why, for a long time, I stuck with the blackberry. They had a cleverly designed keyboard that allowed for something of a sense that one was actually ... typing. Like the old days. Like in an office in a '40s movie. Click click clickity click. I'm typing on a keyboard now, as I watch these letters and words come up on the screen of my desktop computer. A lot of people do without them. People TALK to their computers now. I say bah and humbug to them, though I am without my old blackberry, so I use a virtual keyboard (on an Android system) in that context I have to live with virtual keyboards for telephones. But for my laptop and desktop, I can stick with the physical sort. Like Snoopy on his doghouse. And so ends the cranky old man's tirade.
