During my testing, I found it more comfortable (and more laptop-like) to leave the feet folded, for a shallower angle. One thing that it is possible to tweak is the keyboard's angle, by extending the two feet located on the bottom of the device at the left and right corners. People who would rather have the Ctrl key be the left-most one in the bottom row can swap the functions of the Ctrl and Fn keys on some Lenovo laptops, but that isn’t possible on this keyboard. As ThinkPad custom dictates, the Fn key is located in the lower left corner of the keyboard, to the left of the Ctrl key. The function keys perform all of these actions by default, but you can also activate the regular F1 to F12 functions by pressing the Fn key first. Finally, there’s a customizable bonus key (F12) that can control nearly any function you wish. There are also buttons for the Windows Project menu (for extending or duplicating your screen to another monitor), the Notifications center, Windows Settings, Bluetooth settings, and the onscreen keyboard. They include controls for screen brightness and audio (volume, mute, and microphone mute).

The TrackPoint is also present, of course, complete with three buttons beneath the space bar for left clicks, right clicks, and scrolling.Įven the function keys are identical to how they look on most ThinkPad laptops. So are the dedicated Home, End, Insert, Page Up, and Page Down keys. The familiar arrow keys in their inverted-T layout are there. The resulting product is quite compact for an external keyboard, measuring 0.54 by 12 by 6.5 inches (HWD). It’s as if someone took a scalpel to a ThinkPad laptop, sliced out the keyboard, and boxed it up for sale. This uniformity also extends to the TrackPoint Keyboard II.
