SK-8855 keyboard module swap?

[RichardG867]

Hey everyone,

I'm considering getting a SK-8855 keyboard, however it doesn't appear to exist in my local layout (Brazilian), probably due to the registry editing required to get one of the keys working. I do however have a T410 keyboard with that layout, and I was wondering if I could swap the keyboard module on a SK-8855?

The registry editing is not a concern as I would use the SK-8855 as the only keyboard on a single system.

Yep 100% compatible with keyboards from T410/T510/X220/T420/T520.

I've done it on my SK-8855, I bought the SK-8855 with French AZERTY layout and then replaced by a T410 keyboard with QWERTZ Swiss layout.

Just like Brazilian layout, SK-8855 is impossible to find with QWERTZ-Swiss layout

I do not understand the hype with this keyboard. As soon as I type on it, I want to go back to the x61 with NMB keyboard. The buttons of the trackpoint are too flat .

1: I go back to my full height travel mechanical keyboard and a mouse.
2: They didn't make the 6x series machine keyboard in a USB form.
3: If you want the higher TP buttons, get the IBM version of this keyboard with the T4x buttons.

Well, SK-8855 is just as bad or as good as the X220 keyboard...

If you don't like the default keyboard in it (maybe a Chicony or Alps), then just replace it with a X220 NMB keyboard
