A P14s g2 with the 25th Anniversary Keyboard

#1 Post by SAIYAN48 » Wed Sep 11, 2024 11:39 pm

Found this on Taobao: https://2.taobao.com/item-detail?itemId ... search.0.0

I had no idea this could be done; I wonder how many other models can take this mod besides this and the T480.

Looks really fake. The keyboard does not fit in there.

I had half a mind to try plugging a T25 keyboard into a P1, but Id have to get a P1 first.

It's odd that just the keyboard has been swapped and seemingly not the palmrest. Isn't the keyboard on the T14s/P14s g2 different like the T490?

Looks like they cut out lower edges of the palmrest to fit the dimensions of the T25 keyboard.

If a 3rd party could produce good quality clones of that keyboard combined with palmrest mods and whatever EC flashes to make the keys work right, the 7-row could live on in anything it’s electrically compatible with which we now know includes the T14/P14s gen 2.

I’d love my P71 so much more if it fit the T25 7-row. 2.1mm 6-row with dedicated volume keys aint bad but I like typing on my T430 even more.

I wish that the T25 was based on the P51/P71 and that we could've had the classic numberpad too.
