The keyboard on the Pro 7i is similar in layout to the other Legion laptops, with a main deck of full-sized
and properly-spaced keys, plus a smaller NumPad section at the right. The main set of keys is shifted to
the left side, as a result, in comparison to a centered layout without NumPad. The directional keys are
full-size and well-spaced out from everything around.
The keycaps are made from a soft-feeling plastic and have a small ditch in them. The stroke depth is 1.5
mm, a bit shorter than on other gaming laptops, but the feedback is still OK. Somehow, this keyboard felt
mushier to me, but without having the two generations side by side, I can’t pinpoint what has changed
on this 2023 model.
The lighting is RGB on this keyboard and one of the better in the laptop space.
Bright and uniform LEDs are placed under each keycap, and very little light shines out from underneath
the keys. Per-key RGB control is possible in the Spectrum app, which is part of the Lenovo Vantage
main control software.
Lenovo also implements here that neat functionality that lights up only the active keys when pressing Fn. This way, it’s easier to find the required shortcut, and there are quite a few of them for different things.
Other details worth mentioning are the fact that you get useful physical indicators for CapsLock, FnLock,
and NumLock on this layout. However, there’s still no way to set up a timeout period for the keyboard’s
lighting
