I have a t420s nmb keyboard installed on my t430s and I was wondering if the keycaps from chicony and alps are interchangeable with the nmb? I tend to hoard keyboards/keycaps (as all keycaps wear out eventually) and obviously chicony and alps are much easier to find than nmb, the goal if possible is to take out the keycaps from chicony and alps keyboards and keep them as spares.

I'm reasonably certain they are different but a whole other NMB keyboard should be acquirable.

Thanks for the reply, my gut feeling is telling me the same, but I would love to be wrong on this one, unfortunately NOS NMB keyboards are not that easy to come by and I'm only interested in ISO layout which doesn't make it any easier.
