[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid and convenient keyboard especially for those who have developed an affinity for the Trackpoint pointer (which I like because i don't have to move my fingers from home typing position).
It's a few ounces heavier than the previous generation and the trackpoint buttons are a bit stiffer and middle button is flush with the others instead of raised a bit like the previous gen – takes a few days to get used to. Key travel might be a tiny bit longer. Also there's a piece of the plastic casing separating the space bar from trackpoint buttons, unlike the previous gen – again takes a bit of getting used to but probably good in the end to prevent accidentally hitting the spacebar when going for a button.
I'm wondering what accounts for the extra weight. Well this unit has two different radios - normal Bluetooth plus something called nano wireless dongle which I'm not sure what that is (well, there's a dongle stored in the back of the unit, I guess that's what that's for, I'm just using good ol' Bluetooth though so far). So maybe the extra radio hardware adds weight. Maybe a bigger battery? I didn't check those specs. The previous gen lasted about a month on a battery charge anyway, if this one lasts at least as long on a charge I'll be happy.
By the way I ordered two and I'm using them with a 27" iMac as well as with MacBooks and an LG Gram. I would buy another Thinkpad some day too (Thinkpads are what got me hooked on Trackpoint in the first place) but the LG Gram was so lightweight it was seductive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lacks the fn/Ctrl swap option of the actual laptop keyboard. Very disappointed that ThibkpPad hasn’t added this yet. If you’re going to market it as the same keyboard from the laptop, it shouldn’t be missing such a marquee feature.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this keyboard because I was having ergonomics issues with my work computer setup and I love using the trackpoint on my home Thinkpad. It’s a possible ergonomic alternative like trackballs and tilted mice to using regular mice. The low profile design allows it to be propped up in a wrist rest to angle the keyboard negatively and using the trackpoint seems to relieve pressure on my wrist. Too early to say yet, but I think this will solve my wrist pain issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what I was hoping for. Minimal design with the classic Thinkpad look. Has all the features you'd expect in this day and age from usb-c charging to on keyboard Bluetooth device switching. It's grown on me even more over the past few weeks!
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this keyboard. Would love it even more if it came in a bigger version with the keyboard built in, just like I have on my T590 laptop.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Key feel are an upgrade from the earlier version of this - which I used until getting this one. The TrackPoint is smoother too. Basically feels exactly like a ThinkPad laptop keyboard, where the old one didn't quite. Overall build quality is a bit nicer too, more solid. Same or better fantastic battery life, likely won't know for many more weeks or months. Upgrades include USB C charge connector, physical switch to toggle on/off, switch to select Windows/Android, switch to select Bluetooth/Dongle.
As with the old one, I appreciate the small, wire free footprint, not needing a mouse, ease of connecting, several months battery life, quick charge, and the fact that it's the same feel and layout as my laptops.
I would recommend this to a friend!
