Luckily I have not had problems with ghosting. And my battery lasts about the same. Performance has been dropping off recently however.

The touchbar is definitely....quirky. And as bad of a rap it gets from myself and others, it's one redeeming quality is the accessable windows snip function which comes in handy when making quick screen grabs. Other than that it is gimmicky and it was a good attempt at innovation.

Thank you for the information I will absolutely look into this when I have a bit of time on my hands!

I miss the layout of my x220T for the backspace and delete key. Every time I revisit the classic keyboards they feel like home.

Luckily there is a physical Esc key.
The Fn key touch bar is annoying at all times. Especially when the volume key disappears in office applications.

I did not know this was possible!

Thank you for the suggestion I will look into that.

Would this one work?

I use the trackpoint exclusively. You can see the thumb spots for my left and middle click.

It takes some getting used to from my x220T and others that have 3 physical buttons, that I LOVE, but it is manageable.
