I am writing several thousand words per day. Without a decent keyboard and touch-typing I’d be lost. Handwriting and dictating mean that the sentence has to be finished in my head before I start writing or dictating. Using my keyboard I can jump around at will in the words and sentences I type and add text, delete text or move it around. This way I can polish the text till I am satisfied. Imagine doing that with handwritten text. Dictation software such as DragonDictate allows me to mimick my typing method but jumping around in the text is cumbersome.
So: Three cheers for a decent keyboard.
