Hmmm...I MIGHT have a working TP560 (Not E, not X) keyboard to spare, but
some of the keycaps are a little messed up, so you might want to keep the
old one for now and swap parts on an as-needed basis.
Lemme check the spare parts bin in my house.
Oh, and a guy named Andy Slopast (forgot his eBay seller name) can sell
you some pretty cheap parts. You might want to check with him as well.
