Well...why not take a day or two and learn to touch type on the laptop? You
are already 90% there. Once you are trained on one keyboard the others come
easily.

Quoting Fred Holmes :
Partial solution. But unless one has a woodworking shop to make the
blocks an exact size, a couple of pieces of 2x4 are big and bulky
and take up real estate and large for the baggage to be carried.
There's an app for that. (-:
Even if you find something like that (or make it with a couple of pieces
of "5/4" wood strip, I don't think you would be very happy with a
keyboard being up in the air like that - it would be quite
awkward/uncomfortable to use for more than a few minutes. When I use my
laptop at home with an ex
How about building 4 legs out of wine bottle corks and velcro pads?
The velcro would allow for them to be removed from the keyboard when

I can touch-type on a real keyboard. I can't touch-type on a notebook

What's missing from the keyboard other than a numbers pad--and comfort?
Is the keyboard just annoying as it is? Do you also want to use an
external mouse?
You can get a separate numbers keypad that plugs into USB. Or you can
raise the notebook closer to eye level and put a keyboard underneath

high enough to get the external keyboard over the built-in keyboard?
Clearly a solution that begs for liberal use of duct tape.

My apologies in advance - in my mind's eye, working with a raised

I'm looking for an external keyboard, for a notebook computer, that would sit
on top of the notebook computer's keyboard, instead of "in front of" the
