Lenovo has launched its latest wireless keyboard, the Thinkpad Wireless Trackpoint which features a slim design, 89 “scissor lift” keys and the signature Trackpoint pointing device that is advertised to eliminate the need for a mouse.

The keyboard includes a built-in rechargeable battery that is rated for 30 days of usage, Bluetooth connectivity (maximum of 10 m distance), support for NFC pairing and a bundled 1.5 m Micro-USB charging cable.

The Thinkpad Wireless Trackpoint keyboard will initially go on sale in Japan for ¥13,041 ($133).

    Woohoo! I like this idea. :3 Makes controlling the cursor in the car so much easier and will certainly help with the in-car entertainment system I've built.

    This might be one of the more concerning things I've ever read...

    Cool product, but kinda disappointing that it'll be rubber dome and not mechanical at that price.

    I like Lenovo, and I'm happy to have this keyboard on my laptop, but...first of all, this is not the first "clitmouse" on the desktop by a long shot:

    I'm not bagging on this board, but for a desktop keyboard, and at that price, I'd far rather have a full keyboard with mechanical switches (not necessarily the EnduraPro, but WASD keyboards can be had for around that price).

    Spacing between the F-keys and proper layout for the navigation keys I consider important and I don't see enough reason why those things should be removed.
