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

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Works well. Keys have good feel good to use with a short laptop style key stroke. The TrackPoint and mouse keys are easy to use allowing the user to quickly transition between typing and using the cursor. Construction feels solid and the design is classic and straightforward.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keyboard lacks USB C and uses outdated micro usb

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great keyboard but it uses micro USB to connect the cable to the keyboard. In 2022 it is unacceptable to be manufacturing products with micro USB. Lenovo needs to start manufacturing these with usb-c connection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Though a bit expensive, I think this is a good product that could be invaluable in certain situations. The typing experience is pretty good, it probably won't impress hardcore mechanical keyboard enthusiasts but it certainly beats most laptop keyboards and I personally can't stand cheap desktop keyboards. The keys have plenty of travel, there's not much deck flex even though I typically strike the keys exceptionally hard. Overall, the typing experience is pretty similar to the recent ThinkPad laptops, which is kind of the point of this product. It's compact size makes it perfect for tight spaces where there isn't much desk space, I set mine on top of my laptop's keyboard deck (which I hate) for an instant keyboard upgrade. The trackpoint is also very convenient, allowing you to do precision pointing without moving your fingers away from the keyboard. Some will prefer it over a trackpad, and in a pinch where there is really no extra desk space whatsoever, you don't need to have a mouse because of it. Obviously ThinkPad (or Latitude) laptop users will also appreciate it. There is also no numpad, which I count as a feature because it makes for better typing posture with your hands centered in front of the screen, but data-entry enthusiasts will no doubt find it annoying. The build quality is good enough, it's all plastic and pretty lightweight, but it feels pretty sturdy, not cheap, and has very little flex. Despite all my glowing praise, I still think the asking price is a bit steep. I'll still probably end up putting one in front of my main computer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a compact USB keyboard for use with rackmount server consoles. This is perfect because the TrackPoint on the keyboard means I do not need to connect a separate mouse which frees up a USB port.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love TrackPoint pointers instead of mice since I do not need to move my hand to mouse, so I am more efficient. I use it on my work and home pcs. I wish they would make one with the mechanical clicking keys like on old IBM keyboards, since I like that click feedback.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My favorite external keyboard. But the quality is not nearly as nice as the laptop keyboards. There is a lot of flex in the chassis.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Nice to touch material. Sturdy. The only cons is the movement is quite different compared to X1 Carbon keyboard. The key stroke is longer, softer and louder.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First off, Lenovo broke the thinkpad/trackpoint keyboard. Shame on them. But I will only use a keyboard with a trackpoint. I bought this keyboard as a backup for when my older IBM Thinkpad keyboards kick the bucket.
