Everything I've ever wanted in a keyboard...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I LOVE this keyboard! It's got everything I want from a ThinkPad keyboard. It's basically the keyboard I love on my ThinkPads but in a wire-free format. The ability to switch between the dongle and Bluetooth make it SUPER useful in my setup where I've got two separate computers. Now I can have them up on stands for better viewing and use 1 keyboard (with TrackPoint!) to control both. Exactly what I wanted and super easy to use and setup.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love the keyboard's low profile and feel; plus the trackpoint option. But only 4 stars because the Function and Control key should be switched. The Control key should be in the corner. I keep making entering the Function key when I copy and paste.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I spent quite a few hours doing my research before purchasing this keyboard. Not to mention countless, sleepless nights hoping that the retail price will drop from its original price (fortunately, it did which was one of the catalysts to proceed with my purchase).
So here’s what I think of this product.
So here’s what I think of this product.
During my preliminary research, I had read that many people complained about the position of the Fn and Ctrl keys, which I didn’t quite understand. Then on my first day, as I was typing (whilst highlighting by using Ctrl + arrow keys), it dawned upon me that said keys should have been reversely positioned. It’s been about a month since my purchase and I am slowly getting accustomed to the “reversed” key positions. Now I sympathise with other reviewers.
One of my initial reluctance (actually more like hesitation or discouragement) to purchase this keyboard was due to its lack of back-lit keyboard function. Frankly, I still wish Lenovo had made it with the back-lit function. Granted that the battery life is approximately 2 months based on a single charge, which is quite impressive. FYI, my keyboard is still going strong. But personally I would rather have the back-lit keyboard function with a shorter battery life (say 1 month which is more than sufficient - at least for me).
The set-up was incredibly easy & self-explanatory. So far (after approximately a month of continuous usage of 12 hrs/day), I have yet to lose connection via the dongle connection. Plus I do like the fact that the keyboard has a built-in dongle slot which is rather clever & convenient. But the packaging was shockingly slight (yet tight). When I saw the original package, frankly I was surprised that it actually made the trip from Hong Kong in one piece. There’s no protector, foam, bubble…etc. It’s just densely packaged in a thin cardboard box. The important thing is that it arrived safely and surprisingly quickly. I am not sure how to travel with this keyboard though since I have yet to find the carrying case/pouch for this keyboard. I reckon I will have to use bubble wraps for now.
Over all, I would strongly recommend this keyboard to anybody who is looking for a compact keyboard. One of the reasons that this keyboard drew my attention was its compactness. I prefer typing whilst the centre of my keyboard is aligned with the centre of my monitor. With a conventional keyboard, I would have to move the keyboard to the right side slightly in order to position the centre of the keyboard (where the G and H keys are located) aligned to the centre of the monitor (since the right side of the keyboard side usually has the built-in numeric keypad). And this repositioning will further move the mouse away from the centre. Perhaps others don’t mind this but I am a bit eccentric when it comes to positioning my hands when typing & using the mouse. Since I can use both the built-in track point and an additional mouse (which I am doing), I am quite pleased with this keyboard. I would say it’s the best purchase I have made in a long time.
My only recommendation would be for the next model, the built-in tilt adjustable stand should be somewhat longer (additional 0.5cm would perfect). But I do like the rubberised ends. Clever engineering on that part.
Lastly, Lenovo’s offering of an additional discount for seniors via ID.me (I initially applied for it as a joke then I realised I am THAT old) was a plus for me.
I can’t wait for the version III. Hopefully it will have the back-lit feature.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this keyboard!!! I have always loved the thinkpad keyboard, as I own probably around 10 different thinkpads from over the years, and this keyboard is seriously my favorite to type on, save maybe for the old 7-row from the xx20 line. It's super easy to use, the battery lasts a very long time, latency is imperceptible, and I could not be happier!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Almost perfect keyboard. Only issue I have found, which is fairly minor, is that it doesn't seem to support Windows 10 Bluetooth power metering, so I can't tell when it needs to be plugged in to recharge. But other than than that, the keyboard feel is much better than the same usb-Thinkpad keyboard I had before. This one has the perfect Thinkpad keyboard feel that I know and expect. Love it!

Keyboard is too small for my lap, I have to use a platform on which to put it. The delete key is in the upper right hand corner, where I normally pick up the keyboard and I find I have erased some text.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Feels exactly like my T460 keyboard - great replacement for any Mac built-in keyboard, or HTPC use where wireless is handy. Connection via the dongle is very reliable.
