| Right. Fantastic keyboards. Nothing comes close in recent laptops. |

All those off-center keys have been grouped, offset and/or specially shaped since ages for a reason - to immediately and unambiguously settle your fingers there with minimal error when you have to move you hand away from the homerow anyway. |

| isn't the x1 carbon keyboard basically the same? |

| ▲ | ekianjo 15 days ago | parent [-] | | Nope, the 520, 420, 220 had a different design | | |
| ▲ | winrid 15 days ago | parent [-] | | Curious, what's great about it? | | |
| ▲ | ekianjo 14 days ago | parent [-] | | Many things. The feel is different (typing is more pleasant - hard to describe but it's clear when you compare them next to each other's), it has one more keyboard row, and I also like the fact that there is a color scheme: some keys pop out visually so it's easier to differentiate the keys compared to most keyboards nowadays where everything is black and boring. |
