We do have very similar tastes :-)
I have the exact same one, only with a trackpad and PS2 connectors, because it was so cheap it made sense to reuse my old PS2/USB converters. Thinkpad keyboards are a rare and expansive luxury these days.
The fast tab switch keys next to the arrow is something I need in every keyboard or laptop, to the point I won't buy if there is just the inverted T without any key I can remap to fast-tab switch.
I love this keyboard, what I find disconcerting however is the Japanese writing. I would like to replace all my caps by brand new english caps.
A reminder for people considering it: the trackpoint on these is an old version with a lower resolution/sensitivity. If you have multiple displays there's a high chance you won't like it. Even on a sufficiently high res display, it can be somewhat disappointing.
If you want the newest trackpoint you'll need to get the new chiclet usb one[0]. There's a jap version too.
[0] yea, with the inferior (for many) layout unfortunately ;c
