Hey guys. I'm pretty sure (but not 100% sure) that the Ctrl keycap is the same across all X220, T410, T420, T510, T520, W510, and W520 keyboards. It might even be the same for older keyboards, as well.
Let me know if you have one to spare. Please don't price gouge me - it's just a keycap...
Thanks

Oh excuse me, I forgot to mention I have a T520.
That being said, I believe they're the same keys across all those Thinkpads I mentioned...

The keyboard form factor may be the same across all of those systems but the keyboard manufacturers use slightly different mounting systems for the keys. Here is a link to the T520 Hardware Maintenance Manual (HMM):

On (printed) pages 144-145 (150 and 151 of the .PDF), there's three different FRUs for the US English keyboard. You can try entering your model type and serial number at the Parts Lookup page:

This assumes that nobody else has previously replaced the keyboard. To know for sure, simply remove the keyboard using the instructions in the previously referenced HMM. Or take a picture, post a link to it here and somebody should be able to tell from the mechanicals what you have.
