One answer referred you to a link about repairing your keyboard, which is what you need to do.
However, there is a cheaper and easier solution to your problem. Simply plug in a USB keyboard, and use the USB keyboard for typing, not the built in laptop keyboard. The Microsoft type USB keyboards cost about $15 to $40. If you have a Mac laptop, you need a Matias brand Quiet Pro keyboard, which costs about $150.
Everyone who owns a laptop should also own a USB keyboard. It is far easier to type on a USB keyboard than an internal laptop keyboard. Another benefit to using a USB keyboard is that it will extend the lifetime of the internal laptop keyboard, since a lot of the wear and tear of the internal laptop keyboard will be shifted to the USB keyboard, which is much easier and cheaper to replace.
For me, typing on a laptop keyboard is a royal pain verses typing on a USB keyboard. Try the USB keyboard solution.

On your issue about carrying the laptop and wireless keyboard, simply use a backpack that can fit the keyboard and laptop.
If you don’t like that answer, then get your keyboard repaired, or buy a new laptop. Then next time, use the USB or wireless keyboard to extend the life of your repaired laptop keyboard or extend the life of your internal laptop keyboard of your replaced laptop.
If your Windows laptop is about 5 years old, it’s about time to replace the laptop anyway. If it’s a Mac laptop, you don’t need to replace it for about 10 years.
It’s unbelievable that people don’t seem to understand that your problem is a laptop hardware issue, not the Word software issue! However, I missed the part where you said that you were using a wireless keyboard to get around your broken internal laptop keyboard problem.
So, if you don’t want to spend the money to have your laptop keyboard repaired, or replace your laptop, then simply buy a nap sack or gym bag large enough to fit both the laptop and wireless keyboard, and stop complaining!
