[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels like a mid to low end range Thinkpad laptop keyboard with the short plastic key travel. The keys are solid and the iconic red pointer feels like the genuine laptop part.
The only complaints are keyboard flex, with the legs out the keyboard pushes down towards your table surface with anything but the lightest of key taps. With the legs folded, you still feel the top of the keyboard press into the bottom of the plastic enclosure. This should have been firmed up with a support structure or metal plate to have a solid premium Thinkpad keyboard feel for anyone but the most delicate of typists.
The last minor thing is why the choice of a fragile mini/micro style USB cable? Something more robust, L angled, or a more solid USB-C connector would’ve been appreciated. There is the wireless model but at twice the cost, you still have a better value with the wired.
Overall a better value than most compact keyboards on the market for productivity use.

Love Thinkpad keyboards

And this one is very good too. Too bad Lenovo doesn't make this their full feature keyboard. This keyboard with a numeric keypad and biometric fingerprint reader would be the best keyboard ever. Lenovo, please bring out that best keyboard ever.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought it when it’s a big deal price. Used to have the E series laptop 10 years so very impressed on this type of keyboard. Overall it’s great product, hopefully it lasts long like the one on the E series.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a small home office desk and bought this compact keyboard for extra paperwork space. Its size, responsiveness and haptic feedback perfectly fit the bill. The unexpected surprise is how well the Trackpoint works. My Thinkpad Yoga 12’s internal one has never worked properly and I generally use a mobile mouse instead. For whatever reason, the external keyboard’s Trackpoint works perfectly with the same laptop. This is my 9th or 10th Thinkpad since the original model, and this keyboard’s Trackpoint may be the most comfortabke. Recommended to anyone needing a compact keyboard. I also bought Lenovo’s excellent number keypad to go with it, which I can set aside when I don’t need it.
