Of course, it would depend on personal preferences and talents.

The physical keys on my keyboard are roughly the same size as the touch keyboard. Sizing them down so you can fit all the extra keys makes the keyboard between ¼ to ⅓ smaller. That's cutting off the function keys, which some of the more modern typewriters did have.

For my largish fingers and lowish coordination, the keys would be on the smallish side.

Keeping in mind that old typewriter keyboards varied in size between slightly smaller than my Apple keyboard to considerably larger.

That is the perfect keyboard. Not much different in size.

I don't mind the virtual keyboard. I actually like it rather than lugging a physical keyboard. I guess I am lazy to have to carry one more thing. If I wanted a physical keyboard, that's where my MacBook Air comes in! :)
