Customer Reviews

Works fine once stabilized on hard surface. Keyboard is full-sized (19mm key spacing) and keys have nice tactile feedback. New trackpoint is slick and works well if a little sensitive -- wouldn't be surprised to see this incorporated into a standalone keyboard.
Only complaint is that the magnet-system for holding the tablet in place doesn't work very well. The tablet tends to flop over backwards if you're not set up on a desk. It doesn't really work well on your lap. I wonder if Velcro wouldn't be a better solution? Or perhaps some type of hooking setup (?sliding latch) between the tablet portion and the keyboard portion.

Like many consumers who make rash presumptions, I stupidly thought the ThinkPad Tablet keyboard folio case would have the traditional, magical, wonderful, beautiful, outstanding touch, feel, and performance of the keyboard on the ThinkPad laptops.
I was wrong.
The Keyboard Folio Case has it's own tactile feel and click sound. Don't get me wrong, it's quite good with very acceptable click responses, key feel, pressure, etc. Although my hands are larger than average, my fingers have no trouble navigating the slightly-smaller distances between keys. I have not yet used the top-row tablet function keys, but I have no reason to believe they will reduce my satisfaction with the unit.
Just one thing to note, the hard plastic retainer that secures your tablet (once you insert the tablet into the folio case) will leave some minor scratch marks on the tablet case (not on the glass). If you plan to use the tablet both within and without the folio case (and I presume you will), then expect some slight scratches in the area of the retaining clip.
All in all, a good performing keyboard that gives you a near-laptop look and feel.
