I just recently purchased an authentic NMB keyboard, FRU 39T0958, locally from someone to replace the Chicony keyboard i have on my T61.
A quick comparison of the two:
The key stroke on the NMB is definitely shorter. The rebound rate appears to be a bit slower than on the Chicony keyboard. The NMB's keys are firmer and do not have the "hollow" feeling of the Chicony keys. There is quite a big difference in noise between the two keyboards. The NMB is most definitely quieter overall. The Chicony is rather "clickety," and is a little too audible for my taste. That's the main reason for making the switch.
My questions:
Upon further inspection, i've noticed that the enter key is quite a bit more loose than the other keys, and makes a distinctive ticking sound when tapped. Does your "Enter" key feel looser than the rest of the keys? I'm wondering if it's a trait of the keyboard itself, or maybe the person sold me a refurbished keyboard and passed it off as new?

how do you really know if you have an NMB keyboard is it by the Blue thing inside the keypad.
