Difference between a Laptop Keyboard and External Keyboard

Laptop keyboards are designed to save space in every way possible. Which is why they are both lower in profile and more compact in layout than your external keyboard. A laptop keyboard is also often customized according to the laptop model they are going onto. They vary in size, spacing between keys, number of keys, layout, etc. However, both types follow standard regional layouts such as QWERTY or AZERTY and will have the standard symbols and the number 1-9 and 0.

Features of a Laptop Keyboard

Going by the type of keys laptops use, there’s the regular set of keys and then there are chiclet keys that are becoming more common now and are seen on high-end models like Apple’s MacBooks or Sony’s Vaio series.

Usually, laptop keyboards do not have the separate number pad that is found in standard, external keyboards (some bigger 17-inch laptops feature a numpad though). This is done to save space. Many laptops get around this by embedding the separate number keys into existing alphanumeric keys and then adding the Function key. Space measures also include several new secondary functions assigned to keys that would not be present on a standard keyboard. These are usually laptop-specific functions like brightness, screen switching, volume control, etc.

Caring for your Laptop Keyboard

Laptop keyboards usually require a bit more care than normal ones. Try not to let dust accumulate on them. To dislodge accumulated lint, you can use pressurized air from a can. Backlit keys can be extra difficult to clean, so an authorized service person might be your best option.

Laptop Keyboard Troubleshooting

If your laptop keyboard has stopped working, then there are several possible reasons behind. The most common way for a laptop keyboard to malfunction is for individual keys to stop responding as you type. This might happen because contact points under the keys have worn out or there’s just too much dirt inside them. A thorough cleaning will often get it back in shape. If your keyboard is dead altogether, then you have to try and see if your built-in keyboard is being detected at all. In order to check this you might need an external USB keyboard and advanced knowledge of your laptops operating system and BIOS.

If you don’t see your keyboard being detected by your system, it might be a problem with the mainboard of the laptop or a fault of the keyboard itself. Thankfully, getting a replacement keyboard is fairly easy. If you know your model number already, use our search box or filters to zero in on your model.
