Hi~

I'm looking for a new or used in good condition Ultranav IBM/Lenovo Ultranav USB keyboard. Either Travel size or full size with numberpad doesn't matter.

Please PM me if you have one available.

Best,
Jack

This guy is awesome, a very good seller:

This keyboard is UK format, but you can ask him if he has a US one ... I got one a few for my friends here, all of them came in a sealed IBM box, and was unused. His prices are great too.

Actually, according to IBM they are POLISH keyboards!

I've never seen a keyboard that actually has the ć ś ń ź etc as dedicated keys (in pic) as opposed to just alt-combinations (ń is normally written using right alt + n). Also, standard Polish keyboards are QWERTY, not QWERTZ, and I have no idea what the Icelandic Ð (in pic) is doing as an alt on the D key. In short, super confusing.

US English is 31P9490. Full size US English is 31P8950 (very nice).

I emailed the seller but currently he's completely out of stock. Thanks for the info though...

No poblem .. I suggest to keep an eye open on his auctions, his prices are the lowest for these keyboards on ebay (I searched a lot a while back). Take care to check what kind of connector you buy (Ps/2 Vs. USB) though.

Both of the part numbers I mentioned above are USB.

i would be a buyer if any can be found in english..

This is the cheapest I could find the full sized model - grade A refurb. $53.65, ($61.64 shipped to my zipcode)

So spend $4 on some keyboard stickers and you can make a keyboard any language you want! I've typed on them and can't tell a difference. Besides, the new key stickers last practically forever and never come off. They come in black and if applied with care look just fine to value loving folks like me. Bothered by keys that shine? Stickers work great for that too! Look, for about $30 I can deliver an "english" UltraNav Keyboard with the really nice condition non-english collection I've been picking up here and there, and a set of quality key stickers. I probably have 8 or 9 sitting in the room from hell. I'm not trying to hijack the op's thread to sell these, I'm just saying someone can do what I did if they keep their eyes open and aren't picky. I've got "english" UltraNav's everywhere, and lots of extras when they wear out!

Found new ones @ Provantage.

I googled and found some sources via "Shopping". Any of you know of any known dealers of yours (like the ones posted above, which are dead links for now.)

I've used this keyboard for years and is part of my laptop dock set-up.

There is an authorized Lenovo dealer (web) advertising this keyboard for $84 and change, special order. Free shipping.
