In the source's own words
“the attached keyboard can be either a wired keyboard or a wireless/Bluetooth keyboard”

Open the original- What it measures
- This matters when a keyboard is connected but the touch keyboard still does not appear under the When no keyboard attached option.
- What it does not show
- Microsoft does not say whether a laptop's built-in keyboard counts as an attached keyboard, so the When no keyboard attached option may behave differently on a laptop than on a tablet.
