I use a foldable tablet/laptop stand (20€, works fine for lighter 14‘ notebooks, larger might be difficult) and a small external Bluetooth keyboard (60-80€, Lenovo thinkPad style) +mouse. Can be set up/removed within seconds and improves ergonomics by sooooo much. My neck and back are mostly happy.

Thank you all. I have injured my cervical spine because of bad posture and have no choice but to correct my posture with a stand and proper keyboard if I want to save my neck from surgery and my hand from resultant neuropathy. I had no idea bad posture would cost me this dearly. I was afraid the other consultants traveling will laugh at me for using these things, but if many people on the go are using them then that is comforting.

I carry a wireless keyboard when I connect to extra monitors at a client desk. Much nicer than trying to type on laptop and use the screens.

What ergo keyboard fits into a rolling laptop bag for travel?

I use a gaming mechanical keyboard for the comfort and clickity clack responsiveness. Love those old school keyboard feel and not the modern membrane crap on laptops
