Is This a New Wireless Keyboard & Mouse?

See part 0A34032. Is this new? I haven't seen it before on Lenovo.com, but maybe I've missed it. Whether it's new or not, does anyone know if it's good or not?

this is new, it follows the chiclet keyboard design of the Thinkpad edge series laptop.

I read a few reviews of chiclet vs traditional keyboards. Some love 'em, some hate 'em, some are ambivalent. What do you think? I'm thinking about ordering this combo and trying it out. The price isn't bad, and I can return it if I don't like it.

I usually hate them because the keys are typically very flat. The chiclets of the low end Thinkpads have a very nice contour, and I rather like them. I still prefer the traditional Thinkpad keyboard, but it beats the hell out of a Macbook or Elitebook for me.

They leave out one major feature, the trackpoint. Even if they leave that out, I might still buy this or enduropoint.

i personally dont like the chiclet style, it seems to me that its more about looks than functionality. i use a logitech wave when docked, and i wouldnt trade it for anything. in fact, i have another one new in the box here just in case anything were to happen with this one.

well the best keyboard is the one based on the IBM Model M keyboard. But if the user likes the keyboard style of the Thinkpad Edge then they could easily like this keyboard, since they are based on the same design.



Also, some people uses the Apple desktop keyboard, so Lenovo by having this style of keyboard will ensure that people have an alternative brand to use on their windows based PC that isn't silver or white in colour.
