X30/31 Keyboard question...

[Bg357]

Anybody know for sure if you can use a 02K6139 keyboard out of an X30 on an X31?
From what I can tell, the X31 calls for a 08K5073 but I don't know what the difference is.

The keyboards are interchangeable, but I'm sure you know that.

Here's a hint: X30 keyboard should have "thinkpad" button, where X31 should have "access IBM".

Hope this helps.

The keyboards are interchangable but the little panel with the Thinkpad/audio buttons and lights is different. It's no big deal unless you get confused as to which light is which. You can swap out the little panel (easy to do) if you find one.

I have a X30 keyboard on my X31. I thought it looked better. Works perfect.
