My usage, just like the X201 keyboard

 

I have used this for ~ 3 days now ( serious use ) and have not had an issue with the keystroke or double keys. I am not too sure how fast I type, but the commands I type into a CLI multiple times per day without issue. The button on this keyboard works...

Awesome!

 

Awesome keyboard! Low profile, quiet, almost exactly like the ThinkPad keyboard. I'll use the trackpoint once in a while but I prefer a mouse. Some people love it, though. It's a ThinkPad keyboard - what more is there to say?

Great keyboard for any computer - as long as you install the driver

 

I love this keyboard. It has a great feel, and the touchpoint is my simply favorite mouse (it's right there). I love the scrolling feature. HOWEVER, you have to install the driver: [...]. And the driver installation stinks - it's a series of 3...

Pay attention to review dates!

 

SUMMARY: If you have used (and love) the Lenovo Thinkpad keyboard, this is a great reproduction that you can use as a USB keyboard. I definitely recommend! I've grown quite accustomed to Lenovo's STELLAR thinkpad keyboards because my work laptop is a...

Long time thinkpad user and this is the real deal!

ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint -- 55Y9053

 

Replaced my 10 year old spacesaver usb keyboard. I agree with comments that the board is light and that the keystroke is shallow. However after years of typing on laptop keyboards, I actually prefer it quite a bit to my old one. Also, the extra palm...

Consumer review by:

Best keyboard ever invented.

 

First off, ignore the people talking about the sticky shift key. As a vim user, keeping my hands on the board is critical, and this has replaced my need to use a mouse 100%. It types great and the trackpoint is amazing. I use it in ubuntu 11.04 and in...

A great keyboard

 

This is a fantastic keyboard. I've had several Thinkpads over the years, T's and X's, and their keyboards were such a pleasure to use that I wanted them on my desktops. I tried one of these for the office and have now bought a second for the lab. I...
