    I'm trying to replace my T400 keyboard with another layout. On http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-70428 there are 6 different P/Ns for a keyboard. According to IBM Parts Service, they are all the same, but from different manufacturers. Some cost 3 times as much as others. Which one should I get? 3 are defined by manufacturer (Alps, Cny & Nmbs) while 3 others just say KYBRD.

    I'd go with the cheapest unless you like a particular brand.

    I believe NMB is the best choice, where did you find which FRU is for NMB? I only see a list of FRUs without manufacturer names
