I don't think this will help.  The real difference between desktop 
keyboards and laptop keyboards is depth.  If you actually look at a 
desktop keyboard, the spacing isn't that differnet from a laptop keyboard, 
it's just that the desktop keys come up frm that point, narrowing to the 
actual top of the key, providing an illusion of more space between the 
keys.

I have the impression laptopkeyboards are harder to get the keytops off, 
but that could just be my perception.  The junk will get under the keytops 
no matter what the keyboard, and if the keytops are harder to get off, 
then it will be even harder to keep clean.

That said, last year at the Rotary Club garage sale, I got an external 
keyboard that was like laptop keyboard, low keys.  I think it takes up too 
much space, but on the other hand, it includes a touchpad and one of those 
"joystick" things stuck in among the keys.  I don't know if those are 
still being made. I couldn't get beyond the size, but it is useful for 
testing things, having the touchpad right on board.
