Not worth the premium price that they are asking

Typing on this keyboard is not enjoyable at all. If your going to offer a keyboard like this, and charging a premium. I would have put my best foot forward, this should have been the same keys that are used in the X1. These are not the same keys, as the X1. The spacing of the keys are completely off and uncomfortable. The function short cut keys for windows menus don't work. I am not sure if this means that this one is defective.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just like the one built into my ThinkPad E14, which is why I bought it. This allows me to elevate the ThinkPad so the screen is at eye level without having to awkwardly reach for the built-in keyboard. And I can easily switch between keyboards when necessary.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Somewhat complex to setup but once configured is good. The only thing I would add is a backlit.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very solid device! If you enjoy using the trackpoint, this keyboard is very good. I also like the feature that allows you to switch between Bluetooth and dongle connections. It also includes a feature to switch between android and pc configuration for the keyboard. I decided to purchase this keyboard because I enjoy using the TrackPoint and I wanted to have a Bluetooth keyboard that came with an integrated pointing device. I have been using this keyboard with my desktop computer mainly to do work and stream video. If I could only ask for one more thing it would be a backlight to this keyboard. It doesn’t contain it, but all in all it’s a great device! The key travel is excellent, the battery life is excellent and I am really happy with this purchase! I highly recommend this keyboard since it has many good features including the trackpoint as a solid mouse replacement.

One big step forward; many small steps backward

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was initially excited about the Thinkpad Trackpoint Keyboard II because I used its predecessor (the ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with TrackPoint) for ~4 years and still continue to do so.
The major upgrade to this keyboard over its predecessor is that it has both Bluetooth (technically Bluetooth Low Energy [BLE]) connectivity and a 2.4GHz USB-A driven connection. This is good because the range/latency of the 2.4G connection is significantly superior to that of Bluetooth. Its predecessor could not be used for couch-gaming or work without loss of keystrokes; this keyboard can.
A minor upgrade is that the F1-F12 keys are now grouped in three sets of four keys.
However, there are many small downsides to this version:
1. The FnLock function is reversed. In its predecessor, FnLock OFF meant that the F1-F12 keys performed the usual application/OS-specific functions, whereas FnLock ON meant that keystrokes would adjust volume/brightness/etc. In this keyboard, it's the reverse. This is annoying because the FnLock button now has a LED light as well. So, if one needs to refresh a page (F5) or rename a file (F2), one needs to have FnLock and its light on, thereby draining battery life faster.
2. The TrackPoint buttons are all completely horizontal and at the same elevation, so it's hard to know which one would be pressed without actually looking down. This keyboard's predecessor had pronounced differences in elevation between the left, middle, and right buttons. The middle button's bumps that were significant on this keyboard's predecessor are barely tactile, further compounding the issue.
3. The TrackPoint buttons have a very superficial depth compared to its predecessor. This makes them feel atrocious when depressing them, given the lack of tactile feedback.
4. The edges around the Left Ctrl, Escape, and Delete keys are more pronounced. This makes this keyboard feel less sleek compared to its predecessor.
5. The PgUp/PgDn keys are smaller and further separated from the left/right arrow keys as compared to its predecessor.
6. This keyboard weighs ~100 grams more than its predecessor. That's around 25% more. Hopefully the increased weight is accounted for with a bigger battery.
Overall, based on the differences between this keyboard and its predecessor, I would hazard to say that this keyboard is not a very good choice for an IT professional in an office environment. However, it is perfect for a home theater PC (HTPC) setup.

Wolud be pefrect if CTRL/FN swapped
on January 15, 2021
Posted by: Klosiak
from Warsaw, PL
This keyboard would be great if there will be possible to swap left CTRL key and FN button. If it is possible on my Thinkpad laptop then it should be possible on this keyboard too. Next feature which I miss is a backlit of the buttons which is again present on my laptop keyboard. When CTRL/FN swap option will be available I would give 9/10 for this keyboard. Moreover if backlit of the keys would be present I will give 10/10 but without CTRL/FN swp feature keyboard is annoying.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
