Fairly good, but for the price it should be better. Recently lost trackpoint transport, which is what this keyboard is designed to do... being transported.
In my opinion, it should come with a sleeve so it's not lost too far. Or with a loooots of backup track point. Or, it should at least, be the same track point format as the laptops so I could just take it from my laptop and put it on the keyboard... bad design here, real bad.
Other problems since day one : the trackpoint was sometimes stock , resulting in a slowly mouse movement which makes it very difficult to use. The FN +CTRL + ARROW function does not work as on any other Lenovo keyboard.
It does the job, but for the price it should be better.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This renowned keyboard has the best typing experience. The battery is rechargeable, compatible with desktop windows and bluetooth. Key travel is awesome, feeling on fingers is amazing.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The keystroke is excellent just as you would expect from a real Thinkpad notebook keyboard and it is very easy to setup. The keys actually feel better than the wire version of this keyboard (I own 2 Trackpoint Keyboard Is). Both Bluetooth and 2.4ghz connections are working fine. The keyboard itself is a little on the heavy side but if you are not planning to carry this keyboard around that wouldn't be a problem. The price of this keyboard was very steep compared to wireless scissor keyboards from other brands such as Logitech, Dell or Microsoft but this is the only wireless keyboard with a Trackpoint, so if you're can't live without a trackpoint, then I guess you have no other choice. Overall, I would recommend it if you are willing to pay the price.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Keyboard is fantastic, I like the switches and wired and wireless options (Bluetooth and 2.4 usb dongle). The only problem I have and it is minor is not having the ability to swap or change the position of the FN and ctrl keys. I read this may be possible in future revision, I hope it means software update and not hardware.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is one of the best keyboard I have. Beauty of this is it has a trackpoint like a Thinkpad. I can use it with phone, tablet as well as my desktop computer. It is very portable as now I only need to bring this keyboard with trackpoint and I no longer need to bring with a separate mouse. I have to admit it is not cheap, would be nice if Lenovo could lower the price
Total crap. Selling this piece of plastic for 100$. It's total scam. The keyboard is the same to what you can find installed in many modern ThinkPand laptops. Mouse buttons do not work correcly for linux with kernel older than 5.10. It means on old OS you will not be able to use the only benefit of this keyboard - mouse and touchpad replacement.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Own multiple ThinkPads for many years for work and personal. Love the type experience on Thinkpad keyboard. Tried the Logitech Mx keys, Thinkpad keyboard is better, feel softer with good key travel distance. Wish the support legs could be better with different angle and stronger.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It feels amazing to type on. Short travel, yet enough to make it engaging while responsive. The track point sensitivity could be adjusted and replace trackpad when needed. The software support is weak and hence for not giving 5 stars, as I wanted to have the option to switch the FN and control key, as its in an annoying location that I always make error.
