WTB: 770 lower trackpoint / scroll button

Ok, so a strange request from me this time. Do anyone have a defective / smashed Thinkpad 770 keyboard which has the lower Trackpoint / scroll button intact? That's the wide lower button with the blue edge. If so, and you can spare it, is there any chance that you could pop this button off and ship it in an envelope to me? I pay for the part and shipping, of course.

I could get a complete keyboard, but I'm a little reluctant to buy and sacrifice a functional keyboard just to get a single button. The button is for use in a project, so it won't be used with an actual keyboard.

Let me know if you want the whole lot or just the button. For free, just pay postage

Hi. That's an offer I can't refuse. If you figure out the postage, and it's not crazy expensive, we have a deal here for the whole thing.

Btw, this is from a 770Z, so I believe there are some differences between this and the 770 keyboard / bezel. But this won't be used in it's original shape anyway, so it doesn't matter.

I'm glad if it gets any use, cause at the moment it's collecting dust (yes, it's from a 770Z). It's less than 500gr and I can fit it as a "large letter" so it's £5.15 for Norway with Royal Mail.

Ok, that seems reasonable. And now I won't feel bad for butchering these items, and maybe get some other useful parts too.

I will send you my address on PM later. I'm at work, so I will take care of payments and so on later this afternoon.

Thanks!
