I'm looking to purchase a second hand T440s and would like it know if it is possible to replace the standard keyboard with a backlit one.
It seems this is possible for the T430 and T450, but the eBay listings state you need a laptop with an additional backlight connected on the motherboard, is this true?
Thanks in advance.

Re: T440s adding backlit keyboard
There are keyboards with and without backlight available for the T440s.
Just swap them out, they are interchangeable without needing anything extra.
