I have one of these. It's fantastic. The trackpoint is even better (in terms of "dpi") than those on the ThinkPads.

I wish that they made a full size version of it - I miss the extra keys.

yep, but i prefer the newer style keyboards. id also make it smaller, no palm rests - closer to a 60key keyboard size.

From what I've read, those don't have the same feel as the keyboards used in the laptops and are definitely unrelated hardware. Since the keyboards are one of the "switched/repaired in < 5min parts" of (older) thinkpads, I don't get why there isn't just a case with an USB converter available. I would pay way to much for an authentic external Thinkpad keyboard. Nothing I have encountered so far feels comparable.

The older versions (like in the earlier link) differ from the laptop counterparts. The recent ones are supposed to be much closer: https://www.thinkscopes.com/2015/08/10/thinkpad-compact-usb-...
