Seconded. I have a T440S which go for around 300 used. Decently thin and light with 100pct linux support and one of the last "real" lenovo typing friendly keyboards. Note the Yogas, Carbon, etc. all have chicklet keys now.

True.

I get around that with a little synaptics hackage in the x.org vicinity to minimize palm touches and give me three buttons.

The T440s has chicklet keys. And that's not what makes a keyboard good or bad for typing.
