Best place to buy notebook keyboard

[jonnnny]

Hey I'm from Canada and recently bought a t41p for a good price but it is in French so I'm looking to replace the French keyboard with an English keyboard.

Two Questions
1) Where would be the best place to buy a keyboard? Direct from IBM or through retailers? If retailer, then any recommendations?

2) I notice there are 2 different manufacturers of IBM keyboards: NNB and Chicony, whats the difference? Which one is better?

Thanks guys.

Anyone that sells IBM service parts can get you a new keyboard. Not sure what the excahgne rate is these days but we pay ~$70 US for a new keyboard.


I have no idea who is better nor do I know how to order one or the other.
