Does it have that new adaptive keyboard that a lot of people find troublesome to use?

No, it has the standard Thinkpad keyboard which is very practical to use. This is last year's model, am not sure about the most recent one

Not exactly sure what you mean by "adaptive" keyboard. The keyboard is different than the traditional Thinkpads -- flatter, but still the same solid real. Takes a few minutes to get used to, but I like it very much

Up to the person I guess, I've only used Kinesis keyboards for awhile now and when I have to switch back to a standard keyboard it's very frustrating. Not impossible, but, after awhile (in my opinion) the Kinesis becomes what you're used to.

In time you will get used to it. At first its weird and hard but later it will become your daily keyboard. The only negative about this keyboard is that its a bit small. Its like a tablet keyboard.

Seemed similar. I hated this keyboard, though. I returned it after a week.Several of the buttons double type. For example, one press of the space bar gives 2-3 spaces every ten times. Drove me crazy

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.

not sure i fully understand the full context of ur question but this keyboard is worthy of a new upgrade or replacement.

I didn't really have any problems with the keyboard. I just had not used it much. However now I love it. I can even use it my samsung galaxy s smartphone.

Yes! It's a difficult keyboard. I feel like I have to really bang away at times!

I have first generation as well. I found the keyboard more of a hassle than a help. And I am a true typist so I was a little surprised at how awkward it is to use this keyboard. Really never could get it situated right, and then had trouble with capitalizing, etc. Would not recommend.

Sorry for not responding sooner. YES! The keys ARE wiggly. However, that was a selling point for me. I'm a nervous kind that finds moving the keys back and forth a pleasant habit while considering my next step. Silly? YEP!

I sent mine back and went to a wired solution for the keyboard. There were too many issues with it to be counted. The biggest is that it has a small footprint and I have large hands. The other reasons were lag times. I know that wired is old school for my desktop this was the best solution. My laptop I use its kb. I hope this helps.

I've never had any problem using the QWERTY keyboard. But then again, I don't use the smart features as much as most people do.

It's nearly impossible for me to type without looking at the keyboard due to the weird grid layout. Also it's not the most comfortable keyboard to use, the key presses are as hard as a standard TV remote control and not soft press like a laptop or desktop keyboard. It works for typing movie names or simple searches, but you'll break your fingers if you try to write a dissertation with this thing.

No it is terriblt. The placement if the keys are off to the left and is really awkward to type. I regret not returning it soon enough.

It is not. The Windows operating system on this model is very fiddly also. Haven't figured out how to adjust it yet. Keyboard layout also takes some getting used to.

No, it isn't. FYI, the feel of typing is similar to a lot of keyboards I've used.

It is a standard keyboard with shallow square keys that are tightly aligned. Could take some getting used to, the home key is adjacent to the backspace which can be confusing. Other than that it is a regular keyboard that we use for gaming.
