I have an ASUS laptop. It has a backlit keyboard. I was looking at it a couple days ago and noticed one of those alt function icons on a key (or so was my first thought). I couldn't figure out what it was so I got up close and personal to see it better. It was on the W key. I had worn through the opaque coating on the key and the glow portion of the keycap was showing through. Game much? 
Has anyone tried using a full size USB keyboard with a laptop? The only moving it does is back and forth from the side table to my lap so it wouldn't be plugged and unplugged for packing up. I would be interested in a mechanical with nice feel, but I'm afraid it might be too thick making it hard to rest my hands while using it. I would think an add on keyboard would be cheaper than having a tech replace the current keyboard.
[edit] Hmm, I didn't realize how super simple it is to replace this keyboard. The question still stands. The keyboard does have decent feel, for a membrane, but I have wanted the feel of a mechanical for a long time.
