External ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint issues with scroll (55Y9003) and hotkeys on a x201

Hello
Once more there is a glitch with the drivers for this external keyboard 55Y9003.
I have the drivers:
16.2.19.13 for the ultranav system of the x201
1.10 for the external keyboard
My system is XP sp3.
The keyboard of the x201is fine relative to the one  55Y9003.
The scrolling is set to standard for both systems.
Please do not advise to select smooth; it is not a solution and the smooth scrolling has been systematically utterly unusable.
The issues:
-the hotkeys on the external keyboards are not all working:
basically, fn+f4 and fn+nmlk work but the rest does not (say fn+f8)
-the scrolling of the external keyboard is not at all identical to the scrolling of the x201.
For instance, in pdfs viewed with foxit for instance, I have not a problem to scroll horizontally with the x201 starting with the hand tool.
WIth the external keyboard, whan I press the middle button to activate the scrolling, it remains the hand tool, I can scroll vertically but not horizontally.
FIrefox as also issues whith the middle button.
-the external keyboard still suffers from the sticky shift key.
I know the x201 and the 55Y9003 are no longer fashionable, but  Is there some directly  guy working at Lenovo who could help ?

I have the ThinkPad USB keyboard on a non-Lenovo desktop, and it works.
Yes the keyboard driver installs, but not the Lenovo System Interface Driver, for obvious reasons. All the buttons and TrackPoint work.
Yes the TrackPoint does not scroll in all programs. Search the community for "trackpoint scroll fix" and you will come up with instructions on how to fix this.

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint issues with scroll (55Y9003)

    Hi Guys,
    I am having issues with this  keyboard...
    I ordered it to use it  on my work where I have Dell Vostro desktops.
    However scroll simply doesn't work in all programs and even stops working ... I also using VM and it doesn't work at all in VMWARE even if you point inside it it still operates at host system !? Weird...
    I have installed latest drivers 1.01 but nothing... So when I removed all drivers and just keep default scroll work as default but still not in all programs and not in VM Ware, etc... Just to be clear my regular mouse scroll works in all and works properly...
    Is it possible that this keyboard will work only on Thinkpads used as external keyboard ?
    There are two things to be installed when I start a disk one is driver and second one is some interface driver which can be only installed on Thinkpads ?! Couldn't be that that thing is missing when running on non Thinkpad systems?
    Any help how to make scroll work in all programs?
    Thanks.
    Moderator edit: Removed UltraNav from the title. This keyboard just has a TrackPoint.

  • X1 Carbon / ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock: Issues with connecting with more than one Dock

    Hello fellow users / Lenovo,
    In our office we have several X1 Carbons and several ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docks (0A33970) located all over the office. We typically bring our X1 Carbons around and use each other's Dock during the course of work.
    However, we recently face a problem with the Ethernet interface not working with other Docks, other than the Dock that the driver was installed with.
    Using other Docks, the Ethernet interface comes up as a generic Ethernet device with a yellow warning triangle inside Control Panel.
    Using the Dock that the driver was installed with, the Ethernet device works as normal.
    It should be pretty easy to replicate this behaviour, just get an X1 Carbon (fresh, Windows 8.1) and connect a USB 3.0 Dock to it, and install appropriate drivers.Verify that the Ethernet port works correctly.
    Next, disconnect the Dock and connect another Dock to the X1 Carbon. Observe that the Ethernet interface does not work, and see the yellow warning triangle icon under Control Panel.
    Uninstalling and Reinstalling the drivers with the new Dock doesn't work either. Only the Dock that the driver was originally installed with will work.

    Would love an official response to this.

  • Scrolling and fn/ctrl issues in External Thinkpad USB Keyboard with trackpoint

    My product is 55Y9010
    I find the scrolling function cannot work in several programs.
    i.e. Visual Studio 2010, Windows Live Messenger, iTunes, etc.
    Especially Visual Studio 2010, it really annoys me because it decreases my working efficiency.
    In thinkpad notebook, I can get it work by modifying tp4table.dat.
    But there's no such file in external keyboard driver.
    The other annoying thing is the layout of fn/ctrl key.
    Because fn key doesn't send scancode, therefore I cannot even use software to reset the layout.
    I recommend to add the feature which allows user to exchange these two keys.

    The linkd mentioned above is dead. Cannot Lenovo provide official support for that? There is an option in the BIOS but it does not apply to the external keyboard. Lenovo now has specific drivers for the external keyboard, but those things still do not seem to allow key swap!!
    This impossible key swap is driving me mad. The same way as brandej, I cannot use this keyboard with the Ctrl not in the right place, as a coder, I hit this key every 3 seconds. So that 28800 frustrations per day, not to say a normal human can probably not handle that.

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) and Keyboard Customizer Utility

    Hi:
    I have a ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053),
    I install the driver 1.0.7 and Keyboard Customizer Utility 1.0.01 for it.
    But, Browser Back/Forward Key of my ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) can't control by Keyboard Customizer Utility.
    Keyboard Customizer Utility only work for my keyboard of R61.
    Somebody can help me, plz?
    My ThinkPad is R61, os is win vista business.

    Hi Jochem,
    I have an SK-8845 that I like a lot and I've been running driver version 1.06.  I didn't even know that 1.08 was out.  I'm not an employee, so I don't have any insight on future driver releases.  I've had some scrolling issues myself in some programs, but after I did this, I haven't had any issues.
    I just installed your driver, (1.08) and everything seems to be working okay.  I haven't tested it fully yet.  I saved my old driver though, just in case.

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9003) FRU

    I'm trying to order a ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint part no. 55Y9003 here in Bulgaria.
    But here they are selling only the European/Bulgarian version with a slighly differerent layout and part no. 55Y9009.
    I had this problem before with the old UltraNav Keyboard and the keboards for my X40, X60 and X61s. What I did then was to order the keyboards as a replacement.
    So I need to find the FRU P/N to order it as a replacement. But I only know the FRU of the bulgarian version (57Y4647).
    I remember it used to be easy to find it on the product page, though I may be mistaking as I can't find it now.
    Please does anybody know where I can find the FRU P/N of part no. 55Y9003?
    Also I don't understand why the retailer here in Bulgaria can't do that, but lets not overdo it :-)

    Never mind I found it

    Still if anyone in Europe is ordering this keyboard have in mind that the enter is the fat one and not the one on the picture if you havent figured that out already about the keyboards in Europe.

  • Thinkpad USB Keyboard with Trackpoint

    First, I want a bluetooth version for my Home Theater PC.
    Second, Does anyone know if they will be updating the design to more closely match their newer keyboards.  I don't want to upgrade my x220 or my t510, because all of my keyboards match from my laptops to my desktops.
    Thanks!

    there should be a bluetooth version of the latest ThinkPad keyboard coming out, the key layout will be slightly different to the Thinkpad USB keyboard with trackpoint.

  • My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue?

    My external Apple USB Keyboard letters doesn't work, but the numbers do. Why and how can I fix this issue? Also, When I open the Keyboard Viewer, the letters will highlight only if I hold the modifier key(s) "Control" or "Control and Option". I really need help with this. I don't have any other computer to try it on, so I will have to test it on a friends computer sometime. But perhaps solutions that I can try right now? Thanks.

  • Number lock - ThinkPad USB keyboard and USB numeric keypad- they're not independent

    Because Lenovo has discontinued my favorite keyboard ever, the USB ThinkPad with Ultra Nav full size keyboard with number pad, I bought a keyboard and numeric pad separately. I ended up with the 55Y9003 ThinkPad USB Keyboard with Track Point and the 33L3225 numeric keypad. That gives me the full solution, a good keyboard with a numeric keypad. Well, almost.
    The issue I'm having is that the number lock on the main keyboard (turns the "uio", "jkl" and other keys into a number pad) controls the number lock on the separate keypad, and vice versa. What I want is for the numeric keypad to always be set for numbers and my main keyboard to always be set for letters. Instead, what I have is both are set for numbers or not, together. This of course defeats the main point of having a separate keypad for the numbers.
    Is there a setting somewhere to fix this? I'm running Windows XP Professional on an HP Compaq desktop computer.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

    I have the same problem. Would be interested to hear of any solutions as well.

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053) driver issue (keys not working)

    Hello!
    I bought this external keyboard yesterday for my Dell desktop running windows 7 (professional)  because I liked the thinkpad keyboard in my thinkpad t400. After plugging in to my desktop and installing the drivers that came in the CD, I noticed some keys (u, o, m, enter(return), l) were not working, i.e., nothing get displayed when I press those keys . When I tried installing it on thinkpad t400 running Windows 7 professional, the same non-working keys were displaying numbers instead of alphabet values.
    Please note the keyboard is not 55Y9003 but the newer version 55Y9053. Also, note the trackpoint worked well including scrolling and all other keys were working. Interestingly, when I plugged this keyboard on Ubuntu machine (desktop and laptop), everything worked well without even installing any drivers.
    I initially thought it was a hardware problem and got replacement from Amazon. Both the keyboards exhibit the same problem. Given the fact it works nicely on Ubuntu, I think this is a driver issue. I tried installing drivers from thinkpad site including versions 1.6 and 1.7.
    I would appreciate if someone can help with the right drivers.
    Thank you,
    Vinai

    How does the keyboard compare to the one on the T400? I'm considering purchasing one for my desktop because I'm addicted to the TrackPoint.

  • ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint -- Buttons not working (SK-8833)

    The buttons on my trusty Thinkpad USB external keyboard (SK-8855) have suddenly stopped working properly. The right-hand button has ceased functioning most of the time, and now the middle button both scrolls windows (as it is supposed to) but also acts as the right-hand button (showing context menus, etc.). Also, occasionally, the left button stops working too, until I click on the center button, and then it will work fine for a while. There is no real consistency except that they are inconsistent.
    The rest of the keyboard, including the trackpoint, works fine, but the fault happens when the keyboard is plugged into two different machines--my Thinkpad T430 and my Thinkpad x100e (the very first time it was ever plugged into this one).
    I would be happy to see if some dirt has clogged up the button mechanism, but the keyboard is still under warranty and one of the screws is under a label (I think). It looks like some kind of hardware issue since I haven't changed any software on my system, but I guess it could be a driver problem, but Lenovo has made it all but impossible to find the drivers of this keyboard.
    Does anyone have any ideas, or should I just be contacting support for a warranty repair?

    You should get the keyboard changed under warranty.

  • No Instructions to Dismantle ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9003)

    The spacebar is sticking on my USB keyboard but thereare no instructions showing how to dismantle it so I can remove whatever is in there.  I'vetaken out all of the screws and itstill will notcome apart. (the lack ofspaces in this postisnot a joke -- this is theproblem).

    SOLUTION!
    Thanks for your help!  I was able to replace the USB keyboard inside its case.  For anyone else trying to do this, here are the steps:
    1. Remove all of the screws from the back, including TWO that are under the sticker and can't be seen.
    2. Wedge a thin piece of metal such as a letter opener or a knife at the bottom of the keyboard case, where the top and bottom come together (there should be space at the bottom)
    3. Slowly work your way up along one side, until you come to where the plastic tab of the top inserts into a slot into the bottom.  Pop the top portion from the bottom gently.
    4. Work your way around the entire case until the top and bottom are separated
    5. If you've received a replacement keyboard from Lenovo (which I did), remove the black plastic strip along the top left, around the volume buttons (it's not needed for the USB keyboard)
    6. Remove the cord in the back of the keyboard by gently pulling it from the circuit board, making sure to note which side the red wire is on
    7. Remove the circuite board (which is unique to the USB keyboard and won't be found on the replacement keyboard) and screw it onto the replacement keyboard
    8. Plug the USB keyboard cord back into the circuit board, making sure the red wire is on the correct side
    9. Check to make sure the keyboard and pointer are functioning propertly on the computer
    10. Ensure the cord behind the keyboard is seated in the slots correctly
    11. Put back on the keyboard case, ensuring it snaps tightly along each of the sides
    12. Put back in the screws

  • 6/9/11 update old usb keyboard no longer works with macbook pro

    Hi I have been using my old Imac usb keyboard with my macbook pro at work since I got my macbook pro. But as of yesterday I have not been able to use it anymore.  Any suggestions to a fix or do I have to buy a newer keyboard?  I need the numbers pad to entering data.
    Any suggestions would b great.

    Your message would be easier to decode if you had proofread it before posting.
    Does your keyboard work when the mouse is plugged directly into the computer instead of into the keyboard, or does the keyboard not work at all? If not at all, then it sounds as though you're right in guessing that the keyboard isn't getting power for some reason (bad cable? bad connection inside the KB? USB port on computer shut down?) If the KB works when the mouse isn't plugged into it, then the mouse and KB together are demanding more power than the computer's USB port can supply, and neither is getting what it needs when the mouse is connected to the KB. In that case, plug the mouse directly into the computer to use it.
    The USB port in your keyboard probably doesn't put out enough power for the mouse you are using. This is typical of older keyboards, which were designed to power old-style electromechanical mice rather than the laser mice that are commonplace today.
