[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's still a great keyboard if you like to keep your fingers on the home row (like I do.)
In this review, I'm comparing it to the previous generation of this product.
Upsides:
This generation comes with a bluetooth USB "dongle." The previous generation did not.
Downsides in order of increasing severity:
1. It is wireless only. In the previous generation, you could chose a wired version.
2. It is difficult on the new generation to know when your thumb is on the middle button.
3. This may be a driver issue but when you try to use the middle button to scroll, the middle button click event is sent. This is, for me, the biggest pain and the reason I've gone back to my wired keyboard from the previous generation.

These issues are, for me, serious enough that I've gone back to my wired instance of the previous generation.
Lenovo: please fix the middle mouse button issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so excited when I saw that the trackpoint keyboard was updated, and I just had to get this and check it out. Features wise, it's a great configuration! I love having the freedom to connect either wired, Bluetooth, or even the classic and reliable wireless USB dongle. The wireless range and quality is fantastic and was able to still use the keyboard from a couple rooms over. The USB C for the wired connection also a definite bonus!
The build quality is honestly much better than I expected. While it looks slightly light and plastic-y, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it has a good weight to it and is very rigid and strong. There's almost no flex while typing and is clearly reinforced internally which makes for a super strong build and fantastic typing experience. The keyboard has the same classic ThinkPad feel with just a little more tactile feel which i personally really like. The trackpoint is exactly like what I'm used to from my thinkpad and I have no complaints there either.
Overall I'm very happy with this new keyboard and very glad Lenovo did this refresh! I'm excited to keep this keyboard on me as I move between several devices and locations and taking full advantage of it's small size and great connectivity versatility. Well done Lenovo!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like the keyboard except for one thing - unlike on the Thinkpad laptops, you cannot swap the Fn & Ctrl keys. This is a deal breaker for me because Ctrl+Shift is a frequent key combination for me and the default layout makes this very awkward and unusable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

-Setup was a bit frustrating. Make sure you don’t turn Bluetooth off on your computer once the keyboard is connected or you’ll have to use an alternate keyboard/mouse.
-Bluetooth connection about 8 feet away from PC, although not line of sight, resulted in constant missed keystrokes. I moved the switch to 2.4 ghz and everything has been perfect, but I still don’t understand which hardware in my PC is accepting that signal.
-I’d like to be able to turn my PC on with the keyboard but that doesn’t seem possible.
-It feels substantial and that’s a good thing. Reasonably heavy.
-I don’t like that the center mouse button isn’t raised (although it’s slightly textured at the top), so my finger often drifts to the right.
-The key travel seems way shallower than any of the dozen ThinkPads I’ve owned over the years (Last one was a T43). That said, it’s infinitely better than the Dell wireless keyboard that came with my computer.
-I replaced the Trackpoint cap with my favorite, the Soft Rim.
I’m very pleased overall with this purchase.

This keyboard has three huge things going for it. The first huge thing is its size, perfectly small. Second is the trackpoint, the truly perfect way to navigate. The third is the keyboard itself. It's great.
Two nits keep it from a five star rating. First, I hate that you have to charge it. Wish it had a battery you could just pop in. Second, the documentation, if you can call it that, in the box points you to a download to access features, but you cannot get to the download.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This keyboard is everything I dreamed it would be. The keys feel incredible, it looks super slick on my desk, and it packs up well for travel and working on the go. Super excited for the quarantine to end so I can get the most out of it!
