It's useless with this near-zero-height keyboard. Instead of offering us a usable keyboard, they put in RGB lighting.

Unless they offer something we can press with decent key travel - and I mean no less than 2.5 mm - I'm not buying.

(For those who don't know what I mean: https://www.pcworld.com/article/557179/full-travel-keyboard-... )



my thinkpad keyboard from 2014 definitely has <2mm key travel and it feels amazing, in fact is the best keyboard for typing that I own

and yes, I do say that even though I also have a keychron keyboard for my desktop


> and it feels amazing

If you used the ones from 2012 and earlier, you would find the 2014 laptop keyboard only passable...


I did use older keyboards like the one on the x220 as well and while the feeling was a little bit better, I just can't use a keyboard without a numpad (reason I am not using 14 or 13 inch laptops) and I also think the keycaps on the newer model are superior
