I'm not a fan of laptop keyboards, which I've compared the K381 to a couple of times during visual inspection, but in use it's much more comfortable. The back is raised just enough to bring the top most keys within reach without you needing to lift your palms up. The minimal key travel and low height of the keyboard is actually far less fatiguing than I expected. Your palms can rest on your desk just below the keyboard (unlike a laptop where you need to stretch over the touchpad) which provides just enough of a balance with the key height to provide a comfortable typing position.
