Thinkpads Forum

I have a keyboard for ThinkPad W500 that is in excellent condition (working fine, no missing key, and clean). The part number is 94T105683. I no longer owns a ThinkPad W500 so I have no use of this keyboard. I would like to give it to those who need it.

If you are interested - PM me and I will send you my email address. Just email me a UPS shipping label and I will drop it off at a UPS store. Please do not expect lighting fast response - I will only do this when I have time, i.e., in a few days.

Very generous of you, but it might be a good idea to package it in a lightweight box (under 13oz total) so it can be sent in the mail as ups would probably want near or more than the keyboard's value.

I have a few of these so I'll let it go to someone who needs it more, and btw, this will also fit T500, R500, T/R400, All T/R/Z61 or 60 series and perhaps others.

Also I'm assuming this is a standard usa layout? and do you know the manufacturer? (alps, NMB, Chicony?)

ps. another cheap way to package it (not recommended for items of high value). Wrap in bubble wrap, sandwich with cardboard and put in one of those white plastic mailing bags. In one aspect these bags are safer than boxes because they are put into mail bags and not treated as roughly as boxes. Millions of americans get their medications shipped this way every month and never seen any of them damaged, but many boxes arrive with moderate to severe damage.

It is packed in the original shipment box, with foam padding etc. It is a traditional style one. Nothing wrong with it but was replaced by work - I remember at one point this keyboard was criticized of having flex so Lenovo offered to replace it. I did not recall any typing problem on it though.

Still available. As far as I know, the shipping label will cost $10+.
