Customer Reviews for Lenovo - ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II (US English) - Wired/Wireless Connectivity - Bluetooth - 2.40 GHz - USB Type A In - Black
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this instead of getting a mechanical keyboard because I wanted something sturdy yet portable. And I don't like the high keys of a mechanical keyboard. The keys are harder to push than the laptop keys, I have a X1 Yoga gen 3, but it doesn't bother me.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The flat design of the Trackpoint buttons is horrible compared to the older designs and even my P1. Trying to click the middle scroll button I always hit the raised shell plastic between the button and the spacebar. The keyboard buttons feel good, but the layout is worse than the old 7 row thinkpad keyboards I loved like on T61p. Making the arrows keys smaller and jamming the page up/down keys in the lower right is too cramped for my accuracy. media control keys are an annoying omission too. The Bluetooth works fine. If I didn't love the Trackpoint I'd have bought another brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it for the wife while I was refurbing her classic SK-8855. She says she prefers it to the 8855 so that has to be a high recommendation, right? And I get an extra 8855.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect company to my ThinkPad, it gives me the same great typing and trackpoint experience. Doesn't take excessive desk space, and packs away for easy travel. As a software engineer typing all day, I haven't found a better more reliable keyboard. This thing is great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Although the overall build quality and the typing experience were nice, my unit suddenly died after just 3 days of use. Neither Bluetooth nor USB connections work with any of the computers that I have tried with; the only sign of life is the charging light that lights up when connected to power. I had to return mine, but considering all other reviews, I assume I was just unlucky with a bad unit.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] God awful that you won't let me switch the FN and CTLR keys. Like, that's such a default expected thing, and it's trivial to do in the software. All of your laptops have this, both in software and in the bios. I don't see why this keyboard has to be an exception. That's inconsistent design. It's a shame, it truly is potentially the perfect keyboard. You could easily take over the entire keyboard market with this switch. But you won't. My unit was also straight up defective so there's that. I would like to see a gen 3 where this keyboard is done right. You open it up to so many users with fn ctrl swtich. Like, what was your marketing team even thinking. What was your design team thinking with not including this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
