Laptop style keyboard for gaming

[Maluno]

I want to know your opinions on the laptop-style keyboards. Are they any good for using in fps, or are they worthless. I would think that the light keys would be a little bit hard to keep your hand on/ have problems "losing your hand position." I know that I can type much faster on them, though, if they are no good for gaming, I will avoid them.

Input?

Never tried to game with one, but I know I can't type on them.
If you type on it fine, then it should not be a problem for gaming.

Might be easier for gaming since laptop keyboards are more sensitive.

And - there is no standard for laptop keyboard layouts. The 15.4 widescreens have almost standard keyboard sizes. They are all different. I have had 5 laptops - none are alike.
