A physical keyboard adds an additional point of failure on your device as well.

A hercon keyboard, like in old military stuff, will last far longer than any touchscreen. Its feedback is weaker than for most keyboards, but still better than any touchscreen.

If we are choosing between a touchscreen alone and a touchscreen plus keyboard, then yeah, only this isn't a fair comparison.

A fair one would be keyboard vs touchscreen.
