Thinkpads Forum

I need some help with two questions regarding a Tpad X201 [Win 7 Pro, 12.1" WXGA] with an X200 Ultrabase.

1. Is there an external keyboard with a touchpad that will work with this configuration? All I'm finding are ones only with the pointing device.

2. What cable do I need to connect an old Thinkvision L200p to the display port?

Thanks for any guidance.

There is an older Thinkpad keyboard with a touchpad(31P8950). I think they've been out of manufacture for a while. If you can find one, it'll probably be more expensive.

Perhaps a displayport to dvi cable would allow you to use the L220p.

This is probably the keyboard you're thinking of. I have one and used it for about 6 years (desk was too small for a full size keyboard). It's not bad. Doesn't support multitouch in the touchpad AFAIK, maybe new drivers will allow it to. Though the model is very old, so I doubt it.

EDIT: This one has only PS/2 ports, so you'd need an adapter. The one I have has a USB port. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 45849.html. It's been discontinued, and apparently only replaced by a keyboard with a trackpoint sadly. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... 73183.html

EDIT 2: Amazon does sell the old one with a USB cable, but it is quite expensive ($100): http://www.amazon.com/IBM-Integrated-Po ... _e_title_0

Thanks, all.
