Now, Lenovo has finally started taking orders for the ThinkPad Trackpoint Keyboard II.

However, Lenovo upgraded some major features of the first-gen ThinkPad keyboard to make the ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II. For instance, unlike the previous-gen model, the TrackPoint II offers only wireless connectivity via Bluetooth or a USB Bluetooth transmitter and also connects with Android and Windows. However, if you are a fan of wired connections, then you would be happy to know thatthe new keyboard connects and charges via a USB-C port instead of a micro-USB in the older model.
