LenovoThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II (US English),Black

Keyboard with integrated mouse..a mist have for media room and anywhere you are short in space. I have 3 of them and they all perform well over years

No issuesEverything is perfect

I use Lenovo Thinkpad Compact keyboard since its 1st generation with only USB connection. I suffered from carpal tunnel like wrist issues for long and after switching to this keyboard my problems were gone - I stopped using a mouse thanks to the trackpoint and probably by having the hands in the same position. I can type whole day and my hands rarely suffer.Pros:* trackpoint! no need to use a mouse* compact size* both wireless (usb dongle) and BT connection* durability* designCons:* price* scrolling with middle button on linux often type paste content of the clipboard* no way to switch fn+ctrl* very hard to buy in the EU - had to purchase 2 pieces from amazon.com and pay taxesDespite all the cons mentioned, it;s my absolutely most used and favourite keyboard, I can definitely recommend for everyone.

There is no way to enable function key lock. If all you use is media keys then maybe you can use this pricey keyboard, but if you need traditional F1-F12 keys, you are out of luck. There is a LED light on the the escape key that one would think showed the function lock was enabled, but there is no way to turn it on. There is no app setting, nothing. I've read the blogs and this is a confirmed flaw, nobody has found a way to hack this outside of opening it and doing soldering. You can remap a couple of the keys in Windows using PowerTools, but you can't map all of them because PowerTools doesn't know how to read some of the media keys. What was Lenovo thinking?This product appears to be completely unsupported - It has been out for a long time and there has been no fixes from Lenovo for this fatal flaw.Another thing is it takes too long to wake up from sleep, and when it does it often repeats the character you used to wake it up 50+ times, you then need to clean up the gibberish.This thing is a hot mess.

It's the only wireless keyboard with trackpoint.It's not perfect:- Fn key is in lower left corner and left Ctrl is to its right; they should have been swapped - what bozo at Lenovo had that layout idea?- Quality of the keys is good but very far from the level of true Thinkpad laptops, say T40.- Keys are pretty flat. They should just copy the keys profile from a T40 - that feels so much more comfortable by comparison.- Mouse keys are stupidly flat ... on Thinkpads they are very distinct so one doesn't need to look, just touch and know instantly.- Should have included the typical group of 6 keys (home, end, insert, del, pg up, pg down), separate from other keys, even if that made keyboard a bit bigger.- Arrow keys should be full size - same as normal letter keys.They had the perfect recipe for best keyboard in the world, they used it for decades in Thinkpads ... but Lenovo had to mess it up ... I wonder, is it cheaper to make bad keyboards or new Lenovo engineers are incompetent?Regardless, it gets 5 stars from me ... because I need a wireless trackpoint keyboard and there's no alternative.

It works well though time will tell on the durability. I've had a couple of Lenovo keyboards that were wired, this is my first wireless version though. I find the Lenovo keyboards to be my goto keyboard, mostly because of the trackpoint, but they are also a very good feeling keyboard.

Not bad when it works, but hardware isn't smart enough to sleep the connection so the batteries die about every 2 days. Software? Drivers? There aren't any. I like it better than my logitech but maybe you should have software smart enough to shut off the inputs and save battery after awhile.
