List of known IBM/Unicomp/Lenovo TrackPoint, trackpad & UltraNav keyboards (updated February 2024)

Hey all!

In the spirit of ThinkPad’s (and TrackPoint II’s) 30th anniversary, I’ve just revamped my list of TrackPoint, pointing stick, and UltraNav keyboards to include some more keyboards, more details, and some better photos! This page has been on my site for a while so previous readers may have already heard about it, intended to be a place you can find out about all known first-party TrackPoint or similar technology keyboards as quickly and easily as possible. Also included is a series of symbols that visually indicate the most important features of the keyboard and a brief comparison of the different pointing stick technologies these keyboards may use.

Any feedback is appreciated as well as any suggestions for keyboards I may have missed. Although please note I’m not including tablet keyboards with unusual (ie, not Type A USB, PS/2 or Bluetooth) connections, infrared-based keyboards like the SK-8807 or TEX keyboards at this time (this may change though).

Enjoy!

This list has been revamped for February 2024! The changes are as follows:

  • Added various tablet keyboards with pointing devices: Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet (Android) (0B33533), Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 1 (TP00082K1), Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 2 (TP00082K3), Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 (TP00089K1), Lenovo ThinkPad X12 Detachable Gen 1 (X12 Folio), Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold Gen 1 (TK008) and Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Fold 16 Gen 1 (TKBBTDU811).
  • Reorganised the page to be categorised based on keyboard style or key-switch. Previously having all the models on the side was too unwieldy with the new additions.
  • Added a few more symbols for quick feature identification; Pogo-based USB, backlighting and fingerprint reader.
  • Rewrote the pointing stick comparison.
  • Improved many descriptions.
  • Added many new photos beyond to illustrate other sides beside the top and possible colour variation where applicable.
