Hi ! :)

I did use the Search Engine, but I didn't find anything. :cry:

Surely a dumb question, but I'd like to know.

Thx in advance for your answer.

:)

I guess so, having owned a T30 and now a T42p, some days in the past I had to reinstall some keys, and I would say they're compatible, I think the only keys that are not compatible are with newer T60's keyboard

Don't forget that there are several types of keyboards (3 on the T4x, don't know how many on the previous models).

I'm almost sure that the different keyboards are not compatible, even on the same model. But the same keyboard manufacturer across different models - may be.

OK.

I will edit the title of my topic, because I suspect that the keys of T41, 42 and 43 are not compatible.

But the T40 has approximatively the same size than the T30 or the T23...

Thx. :)

I have both a T23 and a T30.
The physical dimensions of the keyboard, incl. the cursor keys, are identical, BUT, the T30 mouse button pad is wider than that from the T23, and also shorter.
The T30 has also 2 more keys in the cursor part.
So my educated guess is: NO, they are not compatible.

I'm not sure about the T30 or T40, but my A30's keys fit on my T23. (I tried fitting the blue Enter key on for laughs.)
