Rated 5 out of 5 by from its a good standard keyboardIt's a standard keyboard, takes a bit of a push for the keystrokes. Looks good. I do wish it were a little bit ergonomically inclined. I should have paid more attention to the details.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The worst keyboard I have ever ownedThis is as disappointed as I’ve ever been with a keyboard in my life. A terrible typing experience, with lots of two keys being pushed issues. I would send it back but the return shipping charges would probably be 2/3 of what I paid for it on sale in the first place. I love the typing experience on my T490 laptop and I was hoping to get that in an external keyboard so I can use my docking station.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Keyboard/Great PriceI really like this keyboard. I use this keyboard at work and purchased this one for home use. I like the feel of the keys, and the size and feel works perfectly for me. I also was able to purchase it at a great price during a holiday sale and hope to get a second when the price drops again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Responsive, quiet keyboard for workThe old keyboard I inherited at work was almost flat on the desk (even with feet raised) and had very tight keys making it hard to type quickly and accurately. The Lenovo Preferred Pro II has a little bigger footprint than I was expecting, but the lift is higher which works much better with the desk I have and they keys are a lot smoother to type on with responsive keys more like what I wanted. I still prefer my mechanical keyboard I use at home, but the noise can bother others in a work setting and this keyboard is much closer to what I'm used to with my mechanical keyboard without the sound. This is a huge improvement over the old one that I initially was given (I believe it's an old Dell).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Standard, comfortable and quietNice, comfortable keyboard with all the keys in the normal positions. I like the tactile feel of the keys. The keyboard is hefty enough that it doesn’t want to slide around my desk during intense coding sessions. It’s fairly quiet too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from For the price it's fine.The keyboard is fine for typing, a bit noisy, especially the space bar, which has a different noise than the rest of the keys. The build is fine, stable. Just wish it had a better feel. The keys feel mushy. But since the only keyboards you can buy right now are for gamers, having a keyboard for people who work and not play for a living is refreshing. For the price, it's okay.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wired keyboard noisy spacebar?Everything about the keyboard is fine, but...I've never before encountered a keyboard where the space bar (when you release it) makes a noticeably louder noise than any other key. It is somewhat disconcerting, but I am living with it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great feel, quiet, sits firmly on deskEverything I expected and more. The latest version of this classic series of keyboards. Great soft yet tactile feel (especially considering it's a rubber dome keyboard, extremely quiet, moderate touch (on the light side but not as light as a Cherry MX Red), excellent keycap feel that helps your fingers type accurately. Love it. And a great price. Purchased direct from Lenovo, on sale.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Best feeling keyboard madeThis keyboard has the same great feel as the previous Preferred Pro keyboard, which is a firm smooth feel when pressing the keys.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Go Pro for keyboard needsPro doesn't mean complicated: the Lenovo Preferred Pro II USB Keyboard is easy to use, easy to connect, and includes the extra keys that , while not always needed, are useful when called for (Print Screen, the Fs, etc). I had my last one for 5 years, no problem until I spilled wine on it (shame, shame on me). Re-ordering was a breeze and the price is reasonable. Go for it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Preferred Pro ll - Treat YourselfQuite simply Lenovo continues the ThinkPad tradition of providing the very best keyboard you can buy, and not for much more than some truly awful keyboards by other major manufacturers. Don't believe me? I was recently surprised to learn that Joe Rogan loves the feel of a Lenovo keyboard. Claims it makes you a better typist. Less errors.The Preferred Pro ll has that silky smooth feel with a positive stop that signals a good strike. Once you try it you won't use anything else.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I LOVE this keyboard!Up until the purchase of this keyboard I was using the built in keyboard on my laptop. I recently began a new job that provided this keyboard and as soon as I used it I knew I had to have it for my home use! (I am a full time student who is in a degree that requires a large amount of writing.) The keys have a good amount of travel and a very satisfying touch response, with just the right amount of noise, not too loud at all for a mechanical keyboard. I can use this for hours and hours and not feel uncomfortable! HIGHLY recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from keyboard for a lot of useThere are darn few wired keyboards (PS/2 or USB) remaining with a full stroke length and the PROPER key layout. No, I don't want chiclet keys -- I actually touch-type. I type a LOT. I need a keyboard that is accurate, has good rollover support (if you don't type quickly by touch you don't understand why this matters) and I want a WIRED keyboard because the latency on the wireless ones drives me insane.DELL used to have some good ones, but no more. This appears to fit the bill. So far, so good -- I did just get it, so only four stars since I can't yet speak to reliability, but in terms of the "N" key feature it's there or I'd know it INSTANTLY, and the layout and stroke is good.This is a rubber dome, rather than clicky-ratchet switch keyboard. If you're a hard-core keyboardist you understand the difference -- but unfortunately, the cherry ratchet-style switches are simply not found anymore unless you get into the specialty market (think the original IBM PC keyboards.) Then again the ratchet switches are LOUD; these are not. It's a flat layout rather than cupped or curved. Curved won't work with my desk which has a palm rest on the keyboard drawer already; I'd love to find a cupped unit, but they are unobtanium; nobody makes them any more. Oh well.Nonetheless the feel is good, the stroke is full and standard and the cord is blessedly long enough to reach, without an extension, a PC on a desk (through the back or a wiring channel) and maybe on the floor next to you. That's a nice touch too -- most wired USB keyboards have woefully short cords, and even some PS/2 style ones do as well.For the money this is impossible to beat if you want a real keyboard with a standard layout and all full-size, real full-travel keys. I'm sticking another one in my closet in case these wind up no longer available.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from A Solid PurchaseA well made solid product that is well laid out. The keyboard is inclined nicely. I personally find the wrist rest to be a bit awkward and would probably prefer it not be there. Also, as noted in other reviews, the keyboard is quiet, with the exception of the space bar, which is noisy. The keys themselves, however, have a very nice feel to them, are nicely sized and spaced, and are not wobbly. The build quality is very good compared to others that I have seen and owned. This includes the USB cord which is somewhat thicker than others I've seen. Would definitely buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Reliable KeyboardAs described durable and reliable keyboard replacing an HP wireless keyboard that came with a recent computer purchase. Glad to get rid of it. This keyboard has everything needed for the normal day to day use of your computer world. I am not a gamer so could not speak to that use. Only one con would be the palm rest which is slightly higher and may to some be uncomfortable when resting your hands. A fix is needed to give this 5 stars!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lenovo Preferred Pro II USB KeyboardI purchased this keyboard for work. I have connected it to the Lenovo Thinkpad laptop via the USB port and have been using it daily for work. This is a very basic keyboard with no multi-media controls. The keys feel mechanical with a decent key-travel. It is not the nosiest keyboard but it is isn't silent either. Since I am working from home, the sound does not bother me much. One thing that I should point out is that the keyboard feet are made of plastic and do not have rubber pads. This means that on a regular surface the keyboard can skid around. I have placed the keyboard on a gaming mouse pad (i.e. XXL ones) so now the keyboard does not skid around unless I want to.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Keyboard, Very solid.Far superior to the chicklet 'calliope' keyboard that came with my Lenovo desktop. My typing on that was so bad I thought I'd forgotten how to type. The Preferred Pro II has a proper feel, layout, key stroke, dished key caps, and feedback for touch typing. Put off buy for quite a while after the Lenovo Product Specialist said it wasn't compatible with my Lenovo LEGION T5 28IMB05. Took a chance after not finding another keyboard I liked and indeed it works fine. I will probably buy a couple more to ensure I have access to a decent keyboard for the foreseeable future.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great KeyboardThe keyboard is comfortable to use.
