Is anything like a ThinkPad keyboard matrix available?

I have a T420 a defective keyboard and am trying to find which keyboards from other models might work with it...

I do have one where the connector fits OK and is usable but it doesn't really fit in the base so can't be secured.

Not sure if the original keyboard is repairable - it looks OK. I may have broken it by cleaning it. Is there any way to check it out?

T series keyboards are usually cheap. T410/420/510/520 are all interchangeable. It's not worth the effort to repair a keyboard.

X220 keyboard is also the same as T420's.
