This keyboard is one of the staples of my desk. Saying this as someone who also dabbles in all of the exotic stuff. Sometimes you need a reliable, small, and convenient keyboard - that's where these tiny Lenovo trackpoint keyboards fit in every time.

Yep, I have two and am always moving them around between various rooms at home where I only occasionally need a keyboard/mouse. Home theater: setting up a new media streaming stick, Arcade room: tweaking the settings on the PCs in my arcade or virtual pinball cabinet, IT closet: adjusting some pre-boot setting on a Raspberry Pi. It's really perfect because it's small, complete (keyboard and mouse in one device/port), flexible (USB, Bluetooth, RF Dongle) and actually has a good keybed (unlike most small portables). I also like that its auto-shutoff works well, meaning it's usually charged even if I haven't used it in a month.

When I say "There's nothing I don't like about it", it's actually pretty high praise because I'm finicky, demanding and notice the details in stuff I use.
