And in gaming, the soft-landing switches that Lenovo uses helped make jamming the W,A, S, and D keys feel accurate, with less harsh feedback for sudden movements like backing away to avoid gunmen in CS:GO. Beyond that, the 1.5mm key travel helped me avoid tons of typos when typing up long documents, which is something I don’t usually expect from gaming laptop keyboards. From the concave curved keys and the key travel, to the way the keycaps retract into the chassis, it's nearly perfect.īing's typing test validated my experiences, with the keyboard helping me push past the 80+ words per minute. You can’t talk about a gaming laptop without mentioning RGB keyboards, can you? Well, the good news is that this Legion 5 Pro has a high-quality RGB keyboard. I love the RGB lighting, even though it isn’t on a per-key basis.The trackpad under the keyboard is quite spacious.The Legion TrueStrike Gaming Keyboard has great feedback.Keyboard: Comfy, RGB, and with four-zone backlighting Heck, I even stacked an instance of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 next to Microsoft Word when typing up this article, and I still felt immersed enough in both work and play. There’s plenty of room for when I wanted to use this laptop just for productivity.

Oh, there's also the hump at the back that houses the extra ports. The only thing that’d signal this is a gaming laptop is the printed Legion branding on the Storm Grey-colored aluminum lid. There are no fancy markings on the keyboard deck or even colorful accents on the sides of the laptop. It's more similar to something like an HP OMEN 16 or the ThinkBook 16p Gen 3 that I just reviewed since it shares the same base look. This Lenovo Legion 5 Pro doesn’t look overly fancy when you compare it to other 16-inch or 17-inch gaming laptops like the flashier Alienware m17 R5.
