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.

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 ?

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.

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 :-)
Solved!

Never mind I found it
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/product-and-parts/detail.page?&LegacyDocID=MIGR-73185
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.

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 Driver SK-8855

The ThinkPad USB Keyboard SK-8855 is not listed in the driver matrix. I can only find the one for the newer 55Y9003. Help? Does anybody know if the newer driver works with the older keyboard?

did you install the driver for the ThinkPad USB keyboard?

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

Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.

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.

Ultraslim Plus keyboard and mouse issues with windows 8.1 (hesitation/jerkiness)

I'm just wondering if anyone else is experiencing issues with their Ultrslim Plus keyboard and mouse after the update to windows 8.1? Mine seems very hesitant missing lots of key presses and the mouse pointers movement accross the screen is jerky. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers but it still isn't working like it was yesterday. Batteries for both show as 100% and nothing else has changed.

My mistake. I'd installed version 1.5, the updated version 1.8 (specifically mentions windows 8.1 on download link) works perfectly.

USB-C Hub/Dongle issues with new MacBook early 2015

With the new MacBook that has the single USB-C port I find these results and would appreciate any comments:
I purchased an Apple dongle that has 3 ports: USB-3, HTMI and USB-C. I also got a new Belkin 'USB-# / USB-C" 32 gb Flash Drive.
With this dongle (hub?) I can utilize a USB flash drive or USB 500 gb HD via the USB port while charging the MB
I can use the new Belkin USB-C/USB-3 flash drive in the USB port while charging, too
BUT if I remove the charger and just plug-in the Belkin Flash Drive on the USB-C side to the USB-C port on the Apple Hub -- NOTHING NOTE: The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB
I also purchased a Belkin USB-3 3-port hub with 1 more port - an Ethernet port. (Note: This is an UNpowered hub - no transformer, power comes from the Mac)
This works great if all 1, 2 or 3 USB ports are being used with Flash drives of 500 mb to 64 gb in size.
But if I plug-in a SLIM 500 gb USB-3 HD (not an SSD) - then if there are any flash drives in the other ports, they immediately lose power and are "ejected" - and I get a warning message. So it seems to use a true HD with a USB Hub it will have to be a powered hub. (I returned the other for full credit and have not yet purchased a powered hub because frankly, I want something portable - so don't plan to do that experiment myself)
So would this hub have worked with a MacBook Pro or iMac? Is it just that the new MB-2015 model doesn't supply enough power? (Maybe, I think - but not so sure).
Same result with a 4-port Targus USB-2 hub I use on my MBP-2010. I'll test that on the MBP with the 500 gb HD tonight.
OK so just wondering if there is anyone out there with similar experience(s) using either the new MBP or in general with HD's and Flash Drives utilizing powered and unpowered USB Hubs. And the first question about why the Belkin Flash works from the USB-3 side but not the USB-C WHEN UTILIZING THE APPLE HUB/Dongle. (The Belkin 2-size Flash drive works fine in USB-C mode if DIRECTLY connected to the MB).
Thanks very much.
Best regards,

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?
