Found my endgame keyboard.

[kolektador]

This is the Lenovo KB1021, also known as the Lenovo SK8825 or the Lenovo KU0025.



This particular one is a Lenovo KB1021 that was manufactured in 2014-08-29 with REV number V01.

The keys on this keyboard is very snappy and the tactility of the keys is perfect! It is like stepping on a crunchy dry leaf but the crunch is like happening inside a cloud. It is euphoric.

I am happy to say that I have finally found my endgame keybaord, and it is not a mechanical keyboard

What a beauty! You are a lucky guy.

Ah yes, I have some experience with that keyboard. I brought it to work for a time for its comfortable layout (built in wrist rest + pencil holder!) and quiet operation. Sometimes you just want to have that classic layout. I also appreciated the blue enter key. It was an understated alternative to my usual Topre or Leopolds.

No such thing as endgame, lol.  Even if you find the literal perfect board you will still want to use something at some point.  Kind of like building model cars.  Even if you find the perfect one you will still want to build more because it is your hobby.

Interesting. I'm looking for a standard lenovo keyboard that would feeling similar to those laptop keyboards, tactility wise.
Is it hard to find this particular model? Did you get it on ebay?

I wouldn't describe it as similar to a laptop keyboard. It has a certain "crunch" to it, and the travel distance of the keys perfectly compliments that crunchy tactility. I've never tried something with this kind of tactility not even brown switches. This is a very easy to find keyboard on the internet just search the model number KB1021 or SK8825 or KU0025. They do not make these brand new anymore but you can easily find a refurbished or pre owned. You might not even have to look far because a lot of companies who are selling their old stuff are just throwing these away or selling them for like $2-$5! I got mine for $2 free shipping from lazada.com which is like an ebay for southeast asian countries.

Cool, sounds good, I'll look around for one, thanks:)

I also used to have this keyboard on my old job. I picked this one from all the keyboards in the locker. Its good for being a membrane rubber dome keyboard. I don't think it comes close to the comforts of a good mechanical keyboard and a Topre board.

for about 10 seconds before new hotness rolls along.

Does it count if I found a "newer" version of the same keyboard? Because I did found a newer version with better typing feeling but the same model

At work I've used both the OP's keyboard and a stand-alone Lenovo keyboard that used the chicklet style switches they use on their laptops. I really liked the feel of the external chicklet keyboard, but it was still in the compromised laptop layout, so while it was very compact (good!) its layout was non-standard, so I eventually gave it to someone else. Bottom line, these two keyboards are very different typing experiences.

Yeah, I would love to have full keyboard with those lenovo chicklet switches.
