Cool beans :)  I've had a good experience with this keyboard myself, being
one who even on nice Alps Sliders (1996 Alps MGL-Series) at home, still
smashes keys down to the point you hear the non-buckling-spring keys still
clack bottoming out.  If one complaint exists, its that the touchpad is too
far off-center to the left, and that my palm sometimes bumps it.. although
I think I've gotten through the touchpad settings well enough to enable
palm detection properly.  If you disable the clickpad and use just the
buttons / red nub, itd be a non-issue.  Maybe you also lift your palms more
than I do. *shrug*

Furthermore, I have found the 1920x1080 IPS non-touchscreen panel (matte
display) in my laptop to have a bit of a strange gamma curve; It is spot-on
with mid-tones, but the low/high ends are washed out.

I just found the "BroadcastRGB" property in xrandr, and I must say this
100% fixes the ~15 or so black levels that are indistinguishable and the
~5-6 white levels also indistinguishable from eachother in the lagom.nl/lcd/
test pages

 xrandr --output eDP1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Limited 16:235"

This works like a charm, and the difference in low-brightness color
visibility is marked.  I highly suggest this tweak in a constantly
applied-at-boot display script in your favorite window manager/desktop
environment.

Setting the gamma level itself caused mid-tones to become too bright. This
limited range is far more useful :)

Hope you enjoy the T460s as much as I have the past 2+ weeks training and
working at my new job.

Mike
