UltraNav PS/2 Keyboard Drivers

[Jaster]

I recently picked up an UltraNav PS/2 keyboard (the one with the trackpoint and touchpad) for use with my desktop, but I'm struggling to find the right drivers for it. I installed this one, which seems to give me working FN keys, keyboard, trackpoint and touchpad, but I can't find a working driver to enable the middle key on the trackpoint for scrolling, or anything else for that matter. If I try to install a synaptics driver it just throws the error 'Synaptics device not found'.

Is anyone still using one of these things? I'd really like to get it working as I really miss the trackpoint when I'm using my desktop!

Is anyone still using one of these things?

I've recently bought the USB trackpoint keyboard, which did not feel particularly well put together and I didn't like the cord. I also got the compact wireless ThinkPad bluetooth keyboard, which felt much more sturdy, but the connection was dodgy. I guess you can't have it all.

Which keyboard did you buy? The USB keyboard might be worth a look.

I think you're probably right, it may be a case of getting a USB one. I just got a PS/2 one for next to nothing however so I was rather hoping there would be a workaround. I disregarded the bluetooth one as I much prefer the old keyboard layout.

Here's the one I have:

As and when I have the spare cash I think I'll track one of these down with USB:

I thought the actual keyboard and trackpoint on the USB keyboard were good, it's just the case seemed a bit flimsy for a $60 product. I hope they make a RF version of the Bluetooth keyboard with backlight. I'd be willing to spend some cash to get one.
