but not available anymore.
any help in finding one is appreciated.

Besides Lenovo or IBMs USB keyboars, your only option would be to create your own.
Thinkpad4by3's Law of the Universe.
The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.

Re: T6x keyboard to USB/BT controller board
I remember reading about that board a while ago, unfortunately it wasn't available to buy anymore.
I reckon a Kickstarter project like this would gather quite serious following and investors there. Too bad I lack the necessary skills to do something like this.
