So I just totally destroyed my keyboard

[Zukeenee]

My laptop came to me secondhand. It's about 7 years old, and it's on its second hard drive. From the moment I got it, the built-in keyboard never worked. So I have a regular external keyboard that I plug into it. With all the external equipment I need to make this thing work (and the sheer bulk of the computer itself), I use it more as a stationary desktop. I don't know how you usually use your laptop, but it's a pain for me to drag the keyboard along with the computer. Might not be the best choice if you move around a lot.

Alternatively, one time when I smashed my external keyboard into pieces, I went about a day keyboardless. So if I wanted to type something, I painstakingly searched the web (hyperlinks only, no Google searches for obvious reasons) for words to copy-paste. Tedious, but fun in a way.

Or you could do the obvious (but less fun) thing and just clean your keyboard out. If you wanna do things the boring way.
