They're still not as good as real full-height keyboards, and while they're the best chiclet keyboard I've ever used, I'm not 100% certain I would ever choose them over the old IBM keyboards, or my favorite, the PowerBook G4 keyboard.
But they're not bad, and I definitely don't have a problem with typing on them for extended periods of time. I've spend entire weekends using my X120e, and the keyboard was never annoying or disruptive to my typing.
If this is going to be your primary computer, I wouldn't commit until I've definitely tried them for a while. I actually spent like 30min+ typing on various demo computers at the local shop, just to get a comparable feel. They had multiple Lenovo laptops, and while yea, the big full size keyboard was great, the chiclet keyboard wasn't a problem.
Another reason I bought my X120e is Lenovo didn't skimp out on key size, whereas most netbooks would. All the keys were full size.
So do I regret my decision? No, thankfully.
