Easy to set up, and I've always loved that little red mouse-tip thing. Easy-to-use FLock function so your function keys can be normal by default

Doesn't work well at all when I'm also using my separate Bluetooth mouse ; Tried to get support help from Lenovo, but had an extremely frustrating experience. It seems like this keyboard is not yet in Lenovo's support database, so they were all...

Cordless keyboards are nice. It would be perfect for a presentation if you weren't talking but had to type or had a laptop you used docked

Slow response sometimes. It takes a while to be recognized by the computer after inactivity. Not for gaming. I was very sad to see it only charges by USB

Perfect layout for me. Even better layout for me than the real laptop (larger esc key, not above f1)

They keys are stiffer than the real laptop keyboards. I think my fingers have adjusted over time, but it was a little uncomfortable early on ; Was not able to configure the trackpoint to move as fast as I wanted

small size

poor keyboard response

Nice key action and not very loud ; No number pad - something I consider a total waste of space and almost never use

Trackpoint is a bit useless, I would rather see them bring back the touchpad

Just like my Thinkpad keyboard. Reduces my carpal tunnel syndrom (or at least I think that it does). You also get an integrated extra mouse through the track point. I am even able to reach the arrows with my right pinky finger which means less movement...

Plastic feels a bit cheap but it's not really a concern. It bends very slightly in the middle if you press hard on it, but it's not really a concern and you don't notice it unless you really press hard (which you sholdn't, bad for the tendons in your...

Compact in size. Reduce strain by using TrackPoint. No keypad to the right of keyboard so closer reach to the mouse if needed. Less travel to press keys. looks great

Not exactly same build as my T61 keyboard, but works just the same there is a slight difference in the "sound" and "feel" I am guessing a difference in the springs and backing of the keyboard since it "quieter." T61 sounds more metallic in nature

Keyboard layout is similar to long-time Thinkpad norm

Key response inferior to Thinkpad laptop keyboards ; Key response inferior to previous Thinkpad external keyboards

None noted. The price is about 1/2 of the USB Travel Keyboard with UltraNav which is an exact replica of the Thinkpad keyboard layout including UltraNav

If this is supposed to be an exact copy of the Thinkpad laptop keyboard then it was a nice try, but failure. I found too many of the keys in the wrong place (F1 is not below the Esc) or missing (no insert key above the Del)

AS several others have pointed out, this keyboard is basically a Thinkpad keyboard with a USB interface, and is one of the very few keyboards available with a Trackpoint. I also have a Unicomp keyboard with trackpoint, but it doesn't have a middle...

The random "shift stays on too long" problem is quite annoying when you start running into it. I think it has to do with rollover--if the shift key was depressed when it rolls over to the next key, then shift will be on for that key also even if shift...
