New Lenovo ThinkPad USB TrackPoint Keyboard available, still no picture

Mystery ThinkPad USB KeyboardLenovo’s new ThinkPad USB keyboard with TrackPoint has surfaced on their website, but we still don’t have a picture of the new device.

A couple weeks ago we reported on the new keyboard, which by all indications was a refresh of the slick ThinkPad UltraNav keyboard (one of which I’m typing on). Based on the description, it appeared this would be based on the ThinkPad T400s’ redesigned keyboard, with larger keycaps that prevent stuff from getting beneath the keys and revised system buttons.

Lenovo’s product page doesn’t tell us much, but it does confirm the revised buttons:

Red backlit buttons for volume and microphone mute

We also know the dimensions measure 13.31 x 9.89 x 1.45 inches and the keyboard weighs 1.34 lb. Unfortunately the normally tiny picture is missing from this product page, although the price is rather nice at $59 with a shipment timeframe of 11 business days.

Take the jump and buy one, maybe wait for a special ecoupon for accessories, or stay tuned here for more details as we get them.

    Seriously, thanks for the prompt, and the good natured ribbing. I’ve seen the product first hand, and if you like the T400s keyboard, you should like this one!
