Most things took more effort. Each app maker did things differently. Usually it replicated buttons on the screen which had keyboard equivalents that were quicker to hit.

Also, I never made it to the desktop keyboard. So if you were switching between the laptop keyboard and desktop, you had to switch how you did things on both.

Finally, no web access so web apps could never make use of them.
