External USB Ultranav Keyboard w/ Trackpoint and Trackpad (P/N 41A5091)

I have been loving this keyboard that I used to use with my Thinkpad. I now have a new desktop and am using this same keyboard. My machine is a 64-bit Win7 system. I can't find a driver that will work with it; the keyboard works fine but I keep stumbling on the Trackpad which I'd like to turn off. How can I do that? I've done a bunch of searching and even tried some Thinkpad device drivers, all to no avail. Thanks!

I'm obviously doing something wrong. Several reboots later, I'm stuck with the same inability to turn the touchpad off. Here is what I did.
1) Uninstall the driver - success. Prompted to reboot.
2) Rebooted.
3) Installed installation program (started at page MIGR-60649); ran the downloaded file (q2kyb02us13.exe) and changed install path from the default C:\IBMTOOLS\drivers\q2kyb02us13 to c:\Drivers\q2kyb02us13 .
4) Ran setup.exe from that location.
5) It seemed to work properly and I was prompted to reboot. I started the process but was alerted to a window telling me to check the installation and possibly redo it for compatibility with recommended settings. I did *not* do this but forced the reboot.
6) Back up, I clicked on Start ... Devices and Printers, and right-clicked on IBM Keyboard with UltraNav. I had options for the mouse and keyboard, but nothing about Ultranav.
7) I tried to uninstall, but this driver no longer appeared on my list of installed programs. Yikes! I tried again, this time going with the default location (C:\IBMTOOLS\drivers\q2kyb02us13) and catching the compatibility wizard - and letting it reinstall with recommended settings.
8) Reboot and still can't update the Ultranav - and still don't see it listed in installed programs.
Help! What am I doing wrong??

  • External usb ultranav keyboard; no trackpoint using ibm/lenovo driver in Win XP

    I just got an external USB ultranav travel keyboard (product #31P9490) and I am trying to make it work with Windows XP.
    When I just plug in the keyboard, the default windows USB keyboard and mouse drivers work well enough that I can use the keyboard as well as the touchpad and the trackpoint.  
    But, when I install the two official drivers (one for the keyboard "hotkeys", the other for the touchpad and trackpoint from Synaptics) then I lose the trackpoint fuctions.  These are the two latest drivers linked to this web page:
    http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-60649
    After the Synaptics driver is installed, the option to enable the trackpoint is greyed out. All the touchpad functions (scroll zones, tapping, etc.) seem to work. The keyboard function keys work also. But, the trackpoint is non-responsive.  The "Synaptics touchstyck" driver doesn't seem to do anything.  The trackpoint is no longer associated with the generic USB mouse driver, so the trackpoint stick and three buttons no longer do anything. 
    My situation is similar to what is described here, except I don't think there is any mechanical problems since the trackpoint works fine with the default mouse driver:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=Options&message.id=322&query.id=75669#M322
     I tried the drivers on two different Dell PCs and got the same result.
    Has anybody have one of these keyboards gotten the trackpoint to work with the IBM/lenovo drivers? 
    Thanks,
    Doug

  • Availability of USB UltraNav Keyboard?

    Hi,
    I've checked Lenovo's site several times for the past couple of weeks the Thinkpad USB UltraNav keyboard with trackpoint and the extra USB connects at the keyboard.  I currently have one of these (SK-8845, PN 41A5161).   However all I can find on the Lenovo site lately is the USB TrackPoint Keyboard with no UltraNav and no integrated USB ports.  What Gives?
    Is this keyboard not avaialble on backorder or just no longer made?   I really need it to replace a worn out USB UltraNav/Trackpoint Keyboard on a docking station.
    Thanks,
    GC Mobley

    I found my answer...withdrawn from marketing fall of 2009, replaced by cheaper non-ultranav keyboard with NO integrated UltraNAV and NO integrated USB ports.
    So there is no NO WAY to hook up a docking station to a Lenovo Thinkpad and have an external USB keyboard which has UltraNav and Trackpoint - birlliant, just brilliant.

  • USB Ultranav keyboard does not work with Windows 7

    Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 to my Dell Latitude XT tablet and was disappointed to learn that my USB Ultranav Keyboard only works as a keyboard and not a 'mouse'; that is, the ultranav devices (touchpad, buttons, and trackpoint) do not work.  I have not had problems with the keyboard functioning in XP or Vista, so it was surprising to find that it will not work with W7.
    I thought all was going well when W7 recognized the Ultranav keyboard when I plugged-in the device, but all did not go as planned.  I let W7 find the drivers through Windows update, but then once they didn't prove to work, I followed W7's directions of reinstalling the drivers in its version of 'Compatability Mode', but that still didn't prove to work.  I would really appreciate any insights into this problem as it is one of my only (current) hesitancies about using W7.
    Thank you for your time and attention to my inquiry.
    Cheers,
    Tsugazi

    Hi, strangely enough, I got it to work.  Here's the what I did differently (for those with a similar problem):
    After installing W7, I plugged in my keyboard and let Windows find the drivers.  When this didn't provide functionality of the ultranav devices, I tried installing the Ultranav drivers, and when Windows said there was a compatability problem, I then opted to let Windows re-install the Ultranav driver.  Unfortunately, this didn't provide functionality either.
    Jump ahead 12 hrs and re-install of W7 (for other reasons).  This time out, I installed the Ultranav driver, THEN plugged in my keyboard.  Everything works now!  I don't know that this sequence will work for everyone, but it did for me.
    Thanks for your comments.
    Cheers,

  • USB UltraNav keyboard problems

    I have a model SK-8835 external USB Trackpoint UltraNav keyboard attached to an advanced minidock model 2504 and a T60p model 2007-CQ8 running Windows XP. I have the latest BIOS and drivers and Windows fixes.
    I have the following symptom: when I use the middle button to scroll, sometimes the scroll function ends up being left on when I release the button. The external keyboard stops responding to mouse clicks. I have to click on the mouse buttons on the internal laptop keyboard to get out of scrolling mode. But then sometimes I can't click on buttons in the Windows task bar.
    I have a second problem: I have disabled the touchpad on the internal keyboard via the "Ultranav" tab on the Mouse settings window. But I can't find a way to disable the touchpad on the external keyboard.
    I tried to install the "Think/Travel USB Keyboard with UltraNav Hotkey driver v2.0.1.3" (q5kyb07us13.exe) from http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-60649 but I get this error message and it refuses to install: "A newer version of the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver is installed. If you want to install the older version of the Driver, please uninstall the current Synaptics driver by selecting "Synaptics Pointing Device" from the "Add/Remove Programs" control panel, and then run setup again." But there is no such program listed in that control panel.

    Hi mlinehan,
    it seems like you are having a problem much less similar to mine the first time i used this keyboard.
    it works flawlessly now for me after doing this:
    1.download and install the keyboard driver (lenovo.com)
    2.download and install the hotkey driver (strange you are having a difficulty installing this, if you successfully install this it is possible that the problem is just gone imho)
    3.download and install keyboard customiser (lenovo.com, if you do want to customise the short-cut functions)
    well, since you are stuck at step 2 at the moment, i doubt that i am much of a help here anyway, hope it helps.

  • Would love to see a USB numerical keyboard with trackpoint device.

    Hi Lenovo,
    I have a new computer but miss my trackpoint terribly. Searched the web for a portable replacement but there seem to be only touchpads or trackball solutions out there. I think your numerical keyboard with a trackpoint would have been a perfect match.
    Best regards
    Magnus

    Maybe you can buy two Lenovo products, one is the latest ThinkPad Compact Bluetooth or USB Keyboard with TrackPoint, another is a ThinkPad Numpad.

  • WinXp on External USB HD with MBP C2D and rEfit

    I'll try to make this short... I've been in the process of installing WinXP onto an external USB drive to be used on my MBP C2D without installing ANYTHING on my OSX internal drive or partitioning. I've come a long way with tools from some very slick, resourceful people on the net and my own personal obsession with this.
    This is where I am right now:
    - I've made a USB installable WinXP disk with this guide (http://www.ngine.de/index.jsp?pageid=4176)
    - I did install Boot Camp 1.1.2 to burn my driver disk, thats all.
    - I've boot to the XP disc then been able to begin the first phase of installation of XP, but when I reboot I am unable to boot to the windows drive to continue installation. Hitting Option -- or Cmd-Option-Shift-Delete doesn't work, also going into the OSX's Startup Disk option in System prefs. and selected the Windows drive doesn't work, it just sits there on the reboot.
    - So I came across rEFIt- great tool (http://refit.sourceforge.net/), I decided to install it to a spare USB thumb drive (a suggestion from the site). rEFIt comes up, I select the windows USB drive, the gray windows logo appears then... I get a Booting Legacy OS error concerning rEFIt not fiding the USB Device Path.
    I've read people with other models have gotten this to work and other people with this model have reported similar problems. What I have gathered is that this could simply be an issue that rEFIt (despite being an awesome tool) is not up to date enough to work with the MBP C2D firmware, that is why we are having this problem with it not initializing the USB for boot up. I found a thread on another forum where someone was having issues with the MacPro firmware and rEFIt, the creator of had to come out with what is now version 0.8 to address the issue.
    Wasn't sure if anyone had any other suggestions.... any help would greatly appreciated, like many, I've lost lots of sleep over this!
    THANKS!
    MacBook Pro C2D 2.33-PowerMac Dual 2.0 G5-PowerMac Dual 1.42 G4-Mac mini 1.42 G4   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Funny how I had exact same problem (Seagate 300Gb drive, works great with PB G4 1.67, worked fine with 1st Gen MBP 2.0Ghz, new c2d MBP 2.16 does something strange to this drive. After plugging the drive into my MBP, it will not work in any other computer until I power it down.) - I am sure you get errors in system log after plugging in the HDD (just open Terminal.app and type sudo dmesg to verify)
    I called AppleCare, they had me take it to store to confirm the problem. Next Apple initiated return. Now I am sitting without a laptop since Nov 8 and replacement will come on Nov 17th at the worst and 15th at the best.
    I would suggest you call Applecare and have them initiate a return. The USB controller has a problem. Let AppleCare know of the details of your problem.
    Forgot to add - Since it also is a OS issue (I had kernel panic after plugging/unplugging the external USB drive) I filed a bug report with Apple.
    You can also file a bug report with Apple - http://bugreport.apple.com) and remember to provide drive model, serial number and model number, and dmesg output with errors in the report

  • Unable to empty trash due to external USB HDD's locked files and no permission?

    Hello.
    I was doing a major cleanup with an external Seagate USB HDD due to low free disk spaces. It has two partitions/drives: FAT32 (using it for on other non-Apple machines like Windows 2000 SP4) and HFS [Time Machine only]). I threw about 30,000 items (copied from an old Windows 2000 SP4 machine's HDD with NTFS back a few years ago) from FAT32 partition/drive into the trash can. However, I am having problems emptying it. Most of them were emptied, but some were left behind.
    This four years old MacBook Pro's Mac OS X 10.5.8's Trash dialog boxes said "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items." and "Emptying the Trash cannot be completed because "<filename>" is locked. To empty everything in the Trash, including locked items, press the Options key while selecting Empty Trash". http://i.imgur.com/XFBfF.gif for the screen shots/captures of the error messages.
    I tried holding Option key and emptying trash, but that didn't help/work. I used Finder to look at the files, and they had locked status. So I unlocked them which worked, but I can't delete the empty folders/directories, and these don't have locked.
    What's going on and how do I empty the trash? Thank you in advance.

  • External USB encryption key (dm-crypt and luks) - help!

    Hi, I've been following the 'System Encryption with LUKS for dm-crypt' wiki during my new laptop install - but am stuck on one bit.
    On this line:

    Thanks for your reply. The wiki page does say:
    "Replace $SYMLINK and $SERIAL with their respective values. %n will expand to the partition (just like sda is subdivided into sda1, sda2, ...).".
    Now, the $SERIAL part can be obtained, but it's not clear what form the $SYMLINK variable is in...

  • Problem with USB travel keyboard on Windows 7 (some letters become a number)

    Hi
    I have an USB Travel Keyboard with trackpoint and touchpad. Have used for years in XP.
    Now I have bought a new computer, using Windows 7 and Asus P6X58D Premium motherboard.
    After installing Windows 7 I noticed that when I press some keys I get a number instead of a letter.
    I have managed to install drivers for the USB travel keyboard. And can enter the place where I can change speed of TrackPoint etc....
    Now some weird stuff:
    The keyboard actually work if I e.g. enter Internet via "Asus Express Gate".
    (This is a feature with the motherboard which enables me to run some small numbers of applications without having to start windows, thus enabling superfast access to Internet etc.)
    If I let Windows 7 start, then some keys/letters only show numbers.
    To me it sounds weird if keyboard only works in "Asus Express Gate" applications and not in when I e.g. use Internet or any text editor in Windows 7.
    Maybe there is a settings in BIOS that is set automatically when entering "Asus Express Gate", that I might have to set manually to make the USB keyboard work while in Windows 7 (64bit) ???
    I have looked in the BIOS UI without any luck...
    Any suggestions?

  • Desperate of ultranav keyboard with touchpad & num pad.

    I am in desperate need of a USB ultranav keyboard with touchpad and numeric pad.
    I've checked with lenovo hong kong, but i've been told this accessories was fade out..
    the part number is 31p8950
    Where can i get 1 of these on earth, please? or is there any other lenovo service center has one of this in stock?
    i really wish to buy one of it. 

    I see your point. Maybe try apple's feedback portal and point this out. I don't use a numeric pad on the 17" but perhaps they should introduce this on 17" or even 19" machines for users like you. Carrying a keyboard around would suck, if you just wanted to move from one room to another.
    However, I've heard there's an ipod touch/iphone app called NumberKey that gives you a numeric pad - any use?

  • Mini doesn't always connect  bluetooth and external (USB) drives on boot

    I have had a new Intel mini for 4 months now (we also have a PPC G5, which we love). In the last few weeks the mini started to not connect my Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, nor recognize some of my USB peripherals when booting up. When this happens, it also makes a repeated "startup sound - bong!" echo when the start button is pressed. I have two external USB drives, one 500GB Phantom and one 500GB WD MyBook. When the Apple logo appears at boot, I can see the activity lights flashing on the drives as the BIOS interrogates the USB connections, but after the Leopard start up desktop appears, the only drive shown is Macintosh HD, the mouse pointer is at the top left of the display and will not move, nor will the keyboard do anything. I have read every post on this subject and tried all of the resets suggested. Sometimes this works after a few attempts, sometimes it takes 6 or more tries - disconnecting all cables, and turning the computer on again and again. Occasionally the WD MyBook drive appears on the desktop, yet still the Bluetooth is unresponsive and the other drive absent. I am getting frustrated having to disconnect everything and trying to boot this thing up, sometimes for one hour or longer before I can use it properly (all of my work is on the external drives).
    There MUST be a firmware update for this by now, because I see that I am not the only one experiencing these problems, and this is obviously some problem with how the BIOS is communicating with the bus.

    Hi amyta pdx-
    I'd be careful jumping to conclusions or the troubleshooting process may get clouded. For one thing those WD drives are junk and most people using them eventually have problems.
    What happens with everything disconnected from the Mac except a mouse connected to a USB port on the Mac and the monitor connected to the video port only?
    Luck-

  • External USB keyboard

    Hi,
    Is it possible to use an external USB qwerty keyboard at the same time as I use my build in azerty keyboard?
    For text etc, I like to use my azerty, but the keyboard commands on Final Cut, Photoshop etc, are more user friendly on a qwerty.
    So can I use them both at the same time
    (for example, use Final Cut with qwerty, and switch from "space" to send emails (with azerty))
    Thanks for helping

    Someone on geekhack suggested that I try a powered hub.  Having no hub available, I plugged it into the "powered" hub in the back.  For now it seems to have remedied the problem.  I will post again if it continues to happen.
    Is your hub powered?
