[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Exactly what you would expect if you own a ThinkPad. I bought this because ThinkPad has the best keyboards in the world. I initially purchased an Apple magic keyboard to use with my 12.9 iPad Pro but it was disappointing compared to my Thinkpad X1 carbon.
This keyboard is dramatically inferior to my KU-1255 "ThinkPad Compact USB Keyboard with TrackPoint". The keys and the trackpoint buttons are very mushy. Not at all crisp like the older versions. The ledge at the bottom is higher, too—when I press the space bar, my thumb pushes against the trackpoint buttons.

What you see is what you get! Love this keyboard. Love the form factor, the feel of the keystrokes and most importantly the track point. I am using it with a Mac and it worked flawlessly out of the box. I'd highly recommend it. Icing on the cake was that it arrived a day earlier than scheduled. Even as a fan of mechanical keyboard, I can't help but love this keyboard.
The product itself is pretty good quality honestly. Plastics have a nice texture to them without making it feel cheap, and there is enough heft to make it feel solid but not heavy to take away from portability. Where it falls short is the iPadOS use. Scrolling “works” but difficult to use with how iPadOS interprets the middle click. It is also very sensitive with the trackpoint which is something users usually have to adapt to when first using a trackpoint. Typing experience is pleasant, solid feel for a membrane keyboard, with great travel, while maintaining a flat profile. I really wanted to like this product for my uses. Another improvement Lenovo should consider with the next iteration is a tablet/phone tray extension so your device doens’t require it’s own stand.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like it, but I kind of wish it had more a rest for my wrists. I guess I am used to the keyboard on my laptop, but it's a nice keyboard. Keys feel great.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The perfect solution for anyone who can't live without the red Thinkpad nub. The battery lasts weeks and the wireless connection hasn't caused any meetings to get dropped or duplicates, it works just like a real keyboard.
This keyboard is great but it is missing a major feature https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Displays-Options-and-Accessories/ThinkPad-TrackPoint-Keyboard-II-Swap-Fn-and-Ctrl/m-p/5015526
