About this keyboard type
The SK-8845CR is the latest member of the LITE-ON produced SK-8835/SK-884x ThinkPad-style keyboard family. It was a trackpad-less version of the SK-8845RC released by 2013, making it the only non-UltraNav member of the family but it still retained a Synaptics TouchStyk pointing stick. It was typically only known by the name IBM Keyboard with Integrated Pointing Device USB, although a single part number from Lenovo is called the Lenovo UltraNav Keyboard USB despite it lacking a trackpad. The SK-8845CR is likely the last IBM-branded ThinkPad-derived/style product introduced.
