I have used this keyboard for 4 months and I have really enjoyed the experience. I use the USB dongle for connection and I haven't had any interuptions. It has a solid high quality feel. I haven't had any issues with it.
I still own a 2015 era MacBook pro - the layout & usage feels similar to that one.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is definitely a premium keyboard, doesn't feel plastic it's nice and solid. I'm happy to see Lenovo return to making quality keyboards that set them apart from other laptop brands.the Bluetooth connects quickly with my windows and Linux computer. If you appreciate the Thinkpad brand and the quality from the IBM days then this is a must for your collection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these keyboards, and I'm really happy that there is finally a new model to replace my old one that broke. It seems like the center button often issues a click event before it is released, which is making it difficult to scroll with the trackpoint, but otherwise it's a big improvement over the old one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm transitioning to retirement and in a few weeks will no longer have my trusty ThinkPad T580. I personally own a 2nd generation ThinkPad X1 Tablet, which came with a very thin and flexy keyboard, which is fine for light typing--- but does not stand up to all day writing. It is also a bit cramped. The X1 needed an external keyboard, and nothing can beat ThinkPad keyboards with their built in TrackPoint mouse.
I like that it is both Bluetooth and dongle connected, and is compatible with Android devices. The feel is 100% as solid as my current ThinkPad, and possibly even better! This TP keyboard reminds my of some of my older TP models. The feel is certain and smooth.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wish there were a 4.5 star option, because this is a really terrific keyboard, it's just lacking a couple of options that would truly make it perfect.
The ThinkPad TrackPoint keyboard makes the keyboard of the laptop (or desktop) you're using entirely irrelevant, as it gives you the comfort of a ThinkPad keyboard - each key basically hugs each finger it touches, and makes typing a more comfortable experience. Add in the TrackPoint feature, and it's spectacular, especially for someone like me, who after multiple spinal fusion surgeries are unable to type using a laptop (or sitting at a desk with a desktop), for any significant period of time. The ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard gives me the ability to position the keyboard in a position that is more comfortable for me, while still being able to view screen etc, AND, I'm able to use the mouse (aka TrackPoint) to navigate without moving my arms! I know the trackpoint is relatively controversial - most people either love it or hate it, but I think it's absolutely genius. My spine & I thank you!
There is one thing that would make this wonderful keyboard even better, though...a numpad!!
I VERY much wish there was a ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard WITH Numpad available! That would bring it all together for me, and make it the BEST (and only!) option of its kind available!
As it stands, I need to have TWO separate wireless keyboards, one WITH numpad, and this ThinkPad keyboard. I would be thrilled not to need 2 keyboards cluttering up my space, when I really only need the 2nd keyboard for the numeric keypad! (The other keyboard is the Lenovo Essentials Wireless, which runs on AA batteries rather than being rechargeable like the ThinkPad TrackPoint keyboard). I like the keys on the Essentials keyboard as well (similar to ThinkPad TrackPoint in the way they cup or hug your fingers thanks to the curve in them), and love the NumPad, but the Essentials keyboard lacks the mouse/TrackPoint functionality, and as mentioned, batteries vs rechargeable... so, 2 keyboards it is, until Lenovo listens to its customers and brings us a ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard WITH numeric keyboard - I really hope that day comes soon!
In case Lenovo is reading this, another wonderful bonus to a TrackPoint keyboard would be offering a backlight option! I would absolutely LOVE a ThinkPad TrackPoint keyboard WITH NUMPAD AND Backlighting! Those 2 little things would make this already great keyboard absolute perfection!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent addition to a great laptop. I am able to put the laptop on a elevated stand and use this keyboard. This way my neck / head is not looking down all the time and it is very comfortable. Less neck strain. Love the keyboard.
