[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super satisfied with my purchase! The Keyboard works really good, just as I expected.
Hopping that the battery could be replace when needed because this keyboard should last forever!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great Keyboard. It is both BT and USB-Dongle. I have 2 computers that I swith back and forth and this works great with a flip of a switch. (One set to USB, the other set to BT). Best of class keyboard and feel the legendary Thinkpad keyboard, which is the best keyboard I have used for 20 years.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Background: I have been a ThinkPad user since 600E, and I have always loved the keyboards, even as ThinkPad as a whole moved on to Chiclets. While I mostly use mechanical keyboards these days, when I do need a wireless keyboard + mouse combo, I'm left with few choices, often ending up with those touchpad + rubber dome ones. They can be rather clumsy at times. When I got the word that the new wireless TrackPoint Keyboard released, I immediately placed my order.
The unit is very well built and works well. It feels exactly the same as my company-issued ThinkPad P51 (with exceptions; see below). Heck, the styling reminds me of the T40-T61 era, complete with 45 degree chamfers and knurled slide switches --- a really nice touch.
That said, here are some minor complaints. If resolved, this would truly be a perfect tool.
1. The TrackPoint buttons are quite awkward, featuring too short a travel and the position goes against my muscle memory of my (admittedly older) ThinkPads. Even the P51 has a better set. Please, no more of this flat TrackPoint button nonsense... Button travel is what sets ThinkPad apart from competition.
2. There is no easy way to change just the sensitivity of the TrackPoint (without changing the global mouse speed). On a 4k screen it takes so much effort just to move from one corner to another.
3. The Windows driver is garbage. I vaguely remember all the nice things UltraNav drivers used to allow you to change, including the sensitivity I just mentioned, click-the-cap, etc.. **More importantly, it DESTROYS the perfectly good out-of-the-box behavior for the middle-key: "click is middle click, hold is scroll".** Just don't install the driver... you will only uninstall it soon after.
4. Switching to bluetooth requires a convoluted dance of switch off, switch to bluetooth, switch on, switch to bluetooth pair. This involves two switches on two sides of the unit. Why can't this be all in one switch escapes me. Why can't I have a 4-position switch in an arrangement like USB-off-BT-PAIR(momentary), if there is no avoiding the "switch off" step.

I don't have a lot of words to say about this keyboard. I've never experienced anything like it. It definitely has the same. Wonderful key feeling as the famous ThinkPad keyboards. The Bluetooth works flawlessly on Windows 10. But I have not tried it on other Bluetooth devices such as a TV or Xbox yet. But I'm sure the performance would probably be the same. The build quality of the keyboard is very solid and it looks like it has been constructed very meticulously.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very comfortable keyboard. Slight curvature to each key is just like the ThinkPad keyboards, and a very responsive key press. Virtually silent. I wish that the Function Lock was on a physical switch so I didn't have to hit Fn + Esc to lock the F1, F2 keys, and I wish that I could hop between 3 or more devices. (You can switch between USB dongle and Bluetooth mode, so 2 devices max). But otherwise, an excellent keyboard. The TrackPoint control is the icing on the cake! Keep my fingers on the keys!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like how sleek and small the keyboard is. I have a lot of more space than a large keyboard. It is very quiet keyboard which I also like. Also advantageous is that you can plug it in, use the usb receiver, or connect via Bluetooth.
