Deal Details
Long time lurker, first time poster...I actually bought the wireless version of this last time it was on sale (I think around $80) but I kind of hate it. I really wanted to love the the trackpoint but the keyboard is too cramped for me....this might be good if you're looking to try.

Looks like an all time low according to camel (can't post link here).

Note that there's now a wireless version that includes both bluetooth and a USB dongle: https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/acce...4Y40X49493
Higher price of course.

I've got the bluetooth version of the one in OP. Though I prefer older style keys with more travel like on the SK-8855, typing still feels pretty good on the compact keyboard.

I have the wireless version and I love it due to the lack of num-pad and, of course, the red nub/TrackPoint.

The only glaring issue is the inability to swap Fn and Ctrl keys as the logic is embedded in the keyboard's firmware and cannot be overridden in your computer's BIOS. A recent hack [lenovo.com] makes it a possibility for this wired/USB version, however.

Thanks for posting this hack!

The FN/ctrl swap was my biggest hesitation, but now I am in for 1!

The other major problem people mentioned is the Micro USB connector which some said it failed after few months even they rarely move their keyboard.
