Logitech Alto keyboard review
Reviews The Alto's all-in-one design keeps the keyboard at a fixed distance from the display (not ideal from an ergonomic standpoint), and its fixed height means that your comfort level will depend greatly on the size of your notebook.

Talkback I switched to an ergonomic design, it took a week or so of slower typing and mistakes until I got used to it. Those used to a QWERTZ (German layout here) keyboard will always find it difficult to switch to a new style.
