Any idea about keyboard? My logitech's desktop keyboard feels better than this thinkpad keyboard...

 

You should be able to check your keyboard type by going to the Lenovo website and looking up the parts in your system. You can use this link for that: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/warranty/partsLookup.vm

There are three different kinds of keyboard, each from a different manufacturer. The one generally regarded as the best is the one made by NMB (Thai), and the other two are made by Alps and Chicony (both Chinese). I assume that this is the same for the R-series as it is for the T-series.

 

strange... there is no information for my laptop

 

Well, virtually any desktop keyboard should be superior to laptop keyboards, since there's more key travel for the desktops. While I love my laptop's keyboard, my old desktop's is still better, though it's a cheap one.

 

i love my dell laptop keyboard more than my dell desktop keyboard...much easier to type w/e i need to type on the laptop compared to my dell desktop..idk y tho..lol

 

u should try one of the black logitech keyboard lol

btw i am able to get part information of my thinkpad but the information didnt tell me wheere the keyboard is manufactured at.
