I've realized that since studying computer science I've been unconsciously typing faster than before. I think it is like a 60% increase on average from around 40wpm.
And for some reason, the more I type, the happier I get. I enjoy the feeling of my fingers on a smooth light bouncy keyboard that sounds like rain on a plastic roof. I am particularly fond of DELL keyboards in general (but especially the newest versions, worn down by a semester of finger pounding by UST students). I dislike Lenovo keyboards because they have Chinese typing inscriptions on them that makes them really rough on the fingers with all the friction, and not being as crisp and light.
I like the thrill of typing quickly and subconsciously, especially when the code/English just flows.
Having said that I'm looking out for some better keyboard all the time. If it's really worth it, I don't mind having my own private USB keyboard.

I've considered getting an external usb keyboard for my laptop too, but I didn't want to have too many peripherals to keep in the UK.
Laptop keyboards are not the most suitable for typing; nothing to do with the design, it's just that to see the screen properly it has to be placed in a location where it is less comfortable to type.
I touch type anyway so I could hide my keyboard under my desk, saving me more desk space too.
It just became trendy here to have external keyboards and not use the school ones, especially if one is going to be in the lab all day long and type code.
