Customer Reviews for Lenovo - ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint - US English - Cable Connectivity - USB Interface - English (US) - Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this keyboard because I needed a separate keyboard when using my laptop (to improve my posture) and didn't want to have a separate mouse. This seemed to be the most reliable option. I didn't have any previous experience with TrackPoints but it was easy to get used to. I deducted one star because highlighting words can be tricky. The left click button is a little unresponsive at times. Otherwise, it's a good keyboard that feels good to type on.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really slick little keyboard, and I like having a TrackPoint again! I prefer the keys on my old X61 more, but it's nice to have access to the keys that are missing on my new ThinkBook keyboard or that I would need to use the Fn button to access.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you enjoy using the keyboard on a ThinkPad but have a separate computer (laptop or otherwise) that you'd like to experience the same experience with, then get this keyboard. It's nice having the trackpad at your fingertips without having to switch to a mouse for quick movements. The more you use it, the more natural it becomes as an option. It's also pretty thin, so would be easy to transport if need be.

Poor design of usb connector and riser tabs, poor

I just hate the way the usb cable connects. It is clearly flimsy and will break fast if you have a tight space, which would be a reason to buy this item. For such an expensive keyboard this is unacceptable. EPIC FAIL here.
the riser tabs are so low they might just not be there, makes this keyboard a poor ergonomic choice. Had to buy 2 slim wrist tests one to rise the back of the keyboard another to rest the palms to even make it usable. EPIC FAIL
I do love the key layout, better than my old trusty SK8855, but the lower risers, cable issue and the very nice wrist rest included in the SK8855 make it a far superior product, so much so I went back to using after remapping the prev/next keys above the cursor keys to pgup/pgdown.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thinkpad keyboard is the BEST one ever produced.

This is my 3rd Thinkpad USB keyboard. Absolutely the best keyboard ever produced.
I am a data analyst and used a Thinkpad with excel for 10+ years, and then switched jobs and had to use a desktop keyboard - within 3 months, with the same level of intensity of typing, I started developing the starting stages of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Bought a Thinkpad USB keyboard, and all symptoms gone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just purchased so can not speak to longevity and reliability. I will say that the plug in cord that plugs into the keyboard side does feel a bit loose. Would have liked a USB-C plug in because they feel a lot more secure. However the typing experience is awesome. I almost feel like I'm typing on my Thinkpad YOGA X1 which is exactly what I wanted for my work desktop. I did read all the reviews before buying and some comments are legitimate but I think some are how rough people are on the equipment. I would have gave it 5 starts if it had not been for the cord.
