My understanding of Thinkpads is the big keyboard change happened with the upgrade from the X220/T420 to the X230/T430. I picked up a used X220 back in 2014 for school and it's still kicking today. I usually end up reinstalling some flavour of lightweight linux on it whenever it dig it out of storage again, and it's a joy to use.

x220 was amazing, can confirm. had it for 10 years and finally sold it after the 2nd battery that i replaced needed replacing. one of the best keyboards in a laptop, great solid case that was dropped countless times without an issue. i even took it for djing in clubs. what a machine.
I have a T430s and I actually like the keyboard.
