Laptop or Keyboard?

Hello! How many of you out there with pretty good WPM are using laptop/ regular office keyboards compared to people with custom keyboards? Thank you!
Be my GUESSt then ^___^

Idk if my WPM (~80) is considered pretty good. It's pretty good to me lol. I normally do typing tests at work, so I use a very crappy dell chicklet keyboard that misses presses all the time lol.

I'm using the keyboard on a school laptop lol. The spacebar is missing a stabiliser and a every press sounds like a gunshot.

Not sure if I have "pretty good WPM" by your standards, but I type on just a normal keyboard. Ive probably increased my wpm by 20 or so on this keyboard, so keyboard doesn't really matter unless there are genuine issues with it. Good Luck!

Making vague statements doesn't have any room for 'context'

WPM ~ 100. Had a fancy mechanical keyboard, after two years the W,E,R keys became loose, the enter key fell off, and the spacebar broke.
I started using a 5€ keyboard that I wanted to use until I could figure out how to fix the mechanical one, was quite surprised to find out that it works just as well as the other one. Same wpm and for some reason the cheap one feels more satisfying.

80-90WPM here. I type mainly on a cheap mechanical keyboard, a custom mechanical, and a laptop Keyboard. I'm able to get up to speed no matter the keyboard (even crappy ones), but I tend to do a bit better on burst when on the mechanical ones

I went from about 40 words per minute to 80 while using a cheap logitech keyboard that I've had for like 5 years. I used the keyboard on my school chromebook occasionally and the keyboard on my personal laptop. I just recently bought a mechanical keyboard just for the fun of it. I can hit 80+ on all of these keyboards after a few minutes of getting used to it. Mechanical vs membrane doesn't make much of a difference imo as long as there is some decent feedback and tactility.

For me, typing speed doesn't vary much when comparing mechanical keyboards (MX Blues and Gateron browns) and my ThinkPad laptop.
The main issue with cheap rubber keyboards are that the travel distance is small so that you feel the impact more in your fingers, and that some rubber domes require a lot of force to type. So for longer sessions, mechanical keyboards are a lot more comfortable, but you can easily hit over 100wpm on a crappy laptop keyboard. I've even seen people do 200wpm on laptops.
