Things like sliding my finger from the up arrow to the down arrow, frequently as part of a right-up-down-left combination, or hitting both the up and down arrows with my middle finger didn't work on the regular keyboard. Then again, my technique may not be the best, and I'm probably so used to the flat keys of a laptop that anything else would feel odd.
Well, not a laptop, but the keys are completely flat, akin to a laptop (the only differences being they depress more and have larger surface areas).

Switching to keys different than the ones you usually play on is difficult. When I first got my computer, it came with this keyboard, and unlike my old one, it had flat keys. It took almost a month to get used to.

But your technique is indeed modified by the height of your keys. One technique (like sliding your fingers on a flat keyboard) won't work for a keyboard with raised keys...which is why you should stick to your current keyboard.
