Editing ThinkPad keyboard (section)

==== ThinkPad X1 Carbon 2nd Gen ====
The 2014 ''ThinkPad X1 Carbon'' (2nd gen) got a somewhat revised layout.  It was probably - like the ''AccuType'' keyboard on the 1st-generation X1 - introduced as an experiment to gather user input before being introduced in the mainstream line. The response was however much worse, the keyboard was much disliked and it seems that the X1 Carbon 2nd gen is the only model that got it. The third generation X1 Carbon model has the same type of chiclet keyboard as other ThinkPads.

The function keys were replaced with a "adaptive" [[touch strip]] with a back-and-white LCD [[touch screen]]. The [[Fn key]] was moved to the touch-strip and when not used as a modifier could also be used to cycle between different sets of keys.<ref name="computershipper_x1carbon">Computer Shopper &mdash; [http://www.computershopper.com/laptops/reviews/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon-2014 Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon (2014) Review and Ratings].

The [[Escape key|Esc key]] was moved to the ~ key's position left of number 1. The ~ key replaced the Menu/Print Screen key on the bottom. The [[Backspace key]] was shrunk and a [[Delete key]] was inserted next to it. The [[Caps Lock]] was replaced by Home and End together.<ref name="ars_x1carbon">Ars Technica &mdash; [http://arstechnica.com/staff/2014/01/stop-trying-to-innovate-keyboards-youre-just-making-them-worse/ Stop trying to innovate keyboards.
