Lets hope they did not just put retro keys on a chiclet keyboard. And if this thing is on par with a T470p, they can shut up and take my money!

- klez 9y agoWhile I see were you're coming from, even the x60 (which is still IBM-branded) had chiclet keys, and so does the x220 (my weapon of choice), but it's still a great keyboard (at least, it is for me and for many people I read on the various *chans when ThinkPad topics are discussed, so ymmv)
- cturner 9y agoThe chiclet keys are not consistent. I have a first-gen x1 carbon, and enjoy typing as much as on my mechanical keyboards. Last year I briefly had a T460S. The typing was shallower, and noticeably less fun. I never had an old style keyboard, and only then began to understand the upset in the forums about the chiclet keyboards. Lenovo should have put more effort into ensuring quality across the range when making such a big brand change as a keyboard change.
- askvictor 9y agoThe x220 did not have chiclet keys (at least not the 700 or so of them that i purchased and administered).
- einrealist 9y agoWell, the key travel is different today. I want the experience back that I had with a X60 or the X201s and X220 (which I still have and use). The experience that I have with my X240 or my T260p is certainly different. Its not bad, but different. But maybe its just the keys. We will see.
