[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for those who wants Lenovo Laptop keyboard on the go. I have Thinkpad X1 Extreme Gen 2 Laptop and this keyboard is almost identical.
Great feedback and travel.
Highly recommended.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Replaces failed Logitech Harmony Hub keyboard. Bluetooth for Nvidia Shield; dongle for Linux box MiniDLNA.
Heavy and built well enough to use for self defense in case of home invasion!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been waiting for this keyboard for years. Used ThinkPads forever, then I had the previous version of this keyboard, I tried out the Apple Keyboard and a couple mechanical keyboards. There's nothing that beats the old ThinkPad design! And it's wireless! It doesn't feel exactly like my old T-series, but it's close enough. This keyboard feels smooth to move between the keys, like playing a piano. And having a trackpoint again is a blessing, even working on a desktop. I've got one for my work computer and one for my personal.
A word of caution - if you are a gamer or person who cares about "rollover" or "ghosting", this is not an n-key-rollover keyboard. I have tried mapping special key combinations using AutoHotKey and some of the keys don't work when you try to do key combos with 3+ keys. Not a huge issue for me because there are some keys that do, but it would be nice if Lenovo would make this board even better with NKRO.

Fantastic...with some annoying exceptions

I'm not going to repeat all the nice things others have said, as I entirely agree. And I would love to give this a 5/5, I really do. I've used both the USB- and Bluetooth- only models before and I was super excited about this one.
My gripe is about the trackpoint, specifically on Linux: it doesn't work the same as in the previous models. Horizontal scrolling does not work at all; and vertical scrolling works, but with the bizarre side-effect of a middle-button click. E.g., if your cursor happens to be on a link when you start scrolling, it will open the link in another tab; or if it's in a text box, it will paste text into it before scrolling away. So good luck scrolling on something like Google Docs...
Again, the previous models worked perfectly, which makes it all the more irritating that this one doesn't. Overall, I'd still buy this keyboard knowing this, but this is just not the 5/5 product it could've very easily been.

True Thinkpad keyboard
on December 21, 2020

True to form, an identical keyboard to the great thinkpad.
but one flaw...no way to swap fn and ctrl as you can on the thinkpad.
Makes it nearly unusable as a primary keyboard.
Lenovo developers, please...quickly...a firmware update or add to control center to allow fn and ctrl swap. its vital to success.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wireless keyboard is awesome. It supports both bluetooth and wifi and has held it's first charge for over one month already! It is super quiet and comfortable to type on for long stretches.

Imperfect, but easily the best keyboard I've owned

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love my ThinkPad laptop keyboard and TrackPoint mouse and wanted the same user experience while my laptop was docked. I also wanted a wireless keyboard, as my desk already has more than enough cables snaking around it. So I was thrilled to discover this detached version of the excellent ThinkPad keyboard, which has Bluetooth functionality. It's exactly what I was looking for and I'm mostly thrilled with it. I can think of only three drawbacks.
One is that—as reviews elsewhere have attested—scrolling with the TrackPoint mouse is a bit cantankerous on Linux. Unless you're very exacting in how you lift your fingers off the mouse when you're done scrolling, the PC will register the middle-button press as paste-from-clipboard. As a result, when scrolling through a file it's quite easy to accidentally paste a bunch of text into the middle of your document without intending to. The ThinkPad's onboard Trackpoint isn't nearly so finicky.
Second, unlike with the onboard ThinkPad keyboard, this one has no backlight, which means it's hard to use in the dark or with low light. Admittedly, there are fewer situations where I'd use the detached keyboard with the lights out than the laptop's integrated keyboard. Still, there have been situations where it would've been nice to have used this keyboard in low-light settings and I'm unable to do so without fat-fingering a lot of key combinations.
Finally, I'd note that unlike the ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse, which takes AA batteries, this keyboard has an onboard battery that you charge with a USB cable. Each charge lasts for weeks; it's highly convenient. At the same time, I can't help but worry about what happens when the battery finally wears out. Given how great the product is in other respects, I'd like to keep it forever (or at least as long as the old PC keyboards from the 1990s that are still kicking around). But its life is almost certainly going to be constrained by the longevity of the onboard battery, which isn't user replaceable.
To circle back to my original assessment, though, these are largely small foibles in a fantastic product. I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't already love the ThinkPad typing experience, and this product delivers on that promise in spades. If that's what you're looking for, too, you won't be disappointed. It's easily the best keyboard I've ever owned.
