Is it possible to refurbish my old SK-8855 by swapping the keyboard unit?

Yes, I did this myself. I bought a non US english SK-8855 off of aliexpress and put a US english keyboard in it. I believe you want the ones from the x220, iirc there are 3 different sku's from 3 different manufacturers.
X200 Tablet, best 2-in-1 form factor out there

Thanks, I remember replacing my X220 keyboard and hunting for specific model # (I think it was also type of plastic they use that was different or something). Will give it a try.
