    Does anyone know if the new T400s keyboard is compatible with older models like the T60?

    The bigger DEL and ESC keys on the new keyboard are fantastic, and I would love to replace my keyboard, if possible.

    NO. In addition to being of a different physical layout (insert was relocated), I believe the screw placement has also changed.

    The same goes for the T400 regular and T500/w500 as well.

    I thought the T61 keyboards were compatible with the T60. I know those were swapped into the T400 and T500.

    I don't think I was as clear as I should have been. I meant that the T400 s keyboard is NOT compatible with the T400/T500. I am aware that you can use, and many prefer, the T61 keyboard in the T400/T500.
