personally, I really liked the coloring on the mouse buttons. I'm a fan of using suttle color to make things stand out as being an important function (and mouse buttons are an important function). The coloring was also unique and something different, I'd prefer if Lenovo leave the obsessively clean looks to Sony and Apple. Besides, the ThinkPad is sometimes called too boring in its all black look, and tearing away what color there is makes it look more boring and, might I say -- generic. The button size change was made consciously by Lenovo to improve usability, argument being larger buttons are easier to bump accidentally. I'd say the new buttons are probably as usable as past ones -- or you at least get used to them quickly if you've used a ThinkPad in the past, but still, I preferred the larger size.

Also changed is the button look at the top of the keyboard, the Function keys (F1 - F12) used to be grey in color, but with the T60 they become all black. Again, I miss the extra color seperation and distinct look. Also, the once black volume and power buttons are now silver and do not reside in a dimpled depression as they did previously. The "Access IBM" button has become the "ThinkVantage" button and jumps to the right of the volume keys. In use these plastic constructed buttons feel fine, but just looking at them would cause suspicion of cheapness and you'd half expect them to be wobbly (they're not).
