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 (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.
When asking for help, post your question in the forum. Remember to include your system type, model number and OS. Do not post your serial number.

ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053 ) scrolling problems

Hello,
After typing on a Thinkpad keyboard for over 8 years at home, I decided it was time to get one to use at the office. I found the 55Y9053 at a local reseller and have been waiting very anxious to get my hands on it.
However my enthousiasm for this product has lowered quite a bit because the scrolling is just not working the same as on my Thinkpad notebooks (I've owned a T42, T61p and now a T520). I already installed the latest (1.08) drivers, but sadly don't get the expected results.
In some applications the scrolling indicator appears, but nothing happens. The most important one is Visual Studio 2012. Others are Spotify and Skype.
In other application, regular scrolling works, but using the scroll function to zoom (ctrl + scroll) doesn't. The most important example for me is Opera browser, where it appears as if the Shift key is also pressed.
I love the feel of the keyboard, and the ability to quickly click on something without taking my hands of the keyboard, but te response of the zoom function is making me rethink my purchase.
I hope someone can help me with this.

ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint (55Y9053)

hi.
I've installed my keyboard on a brand new XP system, using what's supposed to be a 1.09 driver, but the driver version under hardware properties keeps showing 1.0.0.0, and I'm not getting any special thinkpad options for the keyboard.
It seems to be working ok, but the computer's acting slow and funny, and I'm afraid there may be a connection.
thanks for any help.

besides not being able to install the current driver, the whole system seems to be slowing down considerably, even stalling sometimes.

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 :-)
Solved!

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.

IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint: how to adjust sensitivity

I connect the IBM USB keyboard with TrackPoint (UltraNav) to my Lenovo W510 using Windows 7. How can I adjust the sensitivity of the external TrackPoint? In control panel > mouse settings, I can only adjust settings of the onboard TrackPoint. Is this a driver issue, or I did it wrong? I tried downloading different drivers but none allows me that. Current drivers I use:
ThinkPad USB Keyboard with TrackPoint v1.06 (tpusbkybdwtrackpoint_106.exe)
ThinkPad USB Keyboard Hotkeys v2.0.1.3 (q5kyb07us13.exe)
ThinkPad UltraNav Driver v15.1.19.0 (6hgy31ww.exe (64-bit))
Actually tried newer drivers but the results are the same. Thanks for any suggestion!

http://leadorg.wordpress.com/technology/thinkpad-usb-keyboard-with-trackpoint-software/
after installing the required Lenovo driver explained in the post above. I get this option in my mouse setting under control panel.
Do you see this specific option? (there is new 1.07 driver released, so try to install that and see whether give you the option of adjusting the usb kb's trackpoint sensitivity).

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.

Hi louisr, and welcome to the Lenovo User Community!
Yes there is one. Click on the Service parts link at the bottom of the 55Y9003 page for a list of part numbers for various language versions. 55Y9014 is the French version.

MacBook Pro with external monitor and keyboard.

Hello, everyone.
I've tried to find the answer for this question but haven't found a clear answer with my Google search.
My older Powerbook G4 will not allow me to work with an external monitor and keyboard with the screen in a closed position. I am about to purchase a new MacBook Pro and would like to be able to use it at home with a larger monitor and keyboard but with the lid closed and its built-in screen turned off. Can this be done ?
How can a MacBook Pro be used (turned-on) with external monitor and keyboard while the lid is closed and the its screen is off ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.
Joseph

Hi Niel,
I have the same problem with my MacBook and I followed the instructions you posted. My issue is that when the computer wakes up after clicking the buttons on the keyboard it then quickly goes back to sleep. I can't seem to keep it awake when the lid is closed. I've been searching for an answer without any luck. Any idea how to solve this problem?
Thanks!
P.S. After I finished posting this message I figured out my problem. While fiddling with my computer and monitor, I inadvertently disconnected the power. After reconnecting the power, I was able to wake my computer and keep it awake. A note to other people having this issue: the computer must be connected to a power outlet to run in closed mode.

How do i burn an audio dvd in my thinkpad x-201 with ulthinkpad trabase and dvd/cd burner/ player

hello,,
would someone please point me to directions about how to burn a dvd audio disc. i've looked at various lenovo sites, but no luck [i don't even know the how-to basics, so pls excuse my ignorance]. there doesn't appear to be any application/program for burning dvds and cds on this machine.
using windows xp pro, sp3, thinkpad x-201 with x200 ultrabase and dvd/cd burner/ player
thank you.

hi, thanks for your earlier reply. here's a clarification of my question:
i have a cd with music from an album mix. because a cd lacks enough space to copy the entire album, i would like to burn it on a dvd, which has more than enough space.
do i simply copy the cd into windows media player's library, and then burn it from media player to a dvd?
or, is there a cd/dvd burner available from some manufacturers? i seem to recall roxio or nero as software that will give me what i want.
my lenovo x201 thinkpad rests on an ultrabase that has dvd/cd burners.
i am so confused.
again, thanks for replying.

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.

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 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.

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.
